Removing Front Brake Disc

NOTE: Removing/fitting wheels
  • Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs

→ Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.

→ Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.

  1. Screw the two assembly aids (assembly pins) -1-  , instead of two wheel bolts, into the wheel hub before removing/fitting the wheel. During removal, first remove the three remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel carefully without touching the brake discs.

    Information 

    • To gain better access for assembly work, it is a good idea to turn the wheels fully either to the right or left! 
  3. Press the electric line for the speed sensor/wear indicator out of the holder.
  4. Undo the plug coupling for the speed sensor/wear indicator on the wheel carrier.
  5. Loosen holder for brake line at the wheel carrier.
  6. Disengage the electrical line for the wear indicator from the clips.
  7. Set the brake pads back slightly and uniformly using water pump pliers.
  8. Undo the brake calliper on the wheel carrier and hang it in a suitable place in the wheel well (do not open the brake hydraulic system!).
  9. Remove the fastening screw and take off the brake disc.
