To ensure uniform braking on both sides, both brake discs must have identical surfaces in terms of wear pattern and unevenness depth. Therefore, both brake discs must be replaced.
Note: If the brake discs are replaced, new brake pads must be installed at the same time.
Removal
Remove the brake caliper and hang it on a wire from a spring so that the brake hose is not twisted or stretched.
If the brake disc is to be reinstalled, mark its position relative to the wheel hub with paint or a scriber.
Remove the retaining clips from the disc and remove the brake disc from the wheel hub.
Installation
Clean new brake discs from protective varnish with nitro solvent.
Place the brake disc on the hub and secure with retaining clips.
Caution: If the old brake disc is being installed, install it in accordance with the marks made before removal.
Install the brake caliper.
Place the wheels so that the marks applied before removal match. Tighten the wheels with nuts. Lower the car and tighten the wheel nuts crosswise to 100 Nm.
Caution: Press the brake pedal hard several times until you feel a strong resistance. This will adjust the automatic clearance adjustment mechanism of the parking brake shoes.
