how do i get the discs of i have taken the 2 torx screws out now what

 

[Andy GDI]

remove caliper frame... 2 18mm bolts attached to hub carrier...

then the disk will come off, might need a tap with a mallet...

make sure you clean the new disk off with brake cleaner, removes protective covering

good chance to clean all the pad slides as well, little dab of copper slip on the slides and back of pad before you put them back in.

£59 for the brakes was a good price.
