Removing front brake disc

NOTE:
  • In order to gain better access for removal of the brake calliper, it is beneficial to turn the wheels fully either to the right or the left. 

1. Release retainer for plug of wear indicator on wheel carrier.

2. Disconnect the speed sensor on the ABS sensor.

4. Undo brake caliper on wheel carrier and hang it in a suitable place in the wheel well (do not open the brake hydraulics!).
