  2. Undo the holder for the brake hose/brake line on the wheel carrier. Undo the brake caliper on the wheel carrier and place or secure it in a suitable place. (Do not open the brake hydraulics.)
  3. Take off the brake disc after removing the countersunk screws. If a stuck brake disc cannot be removed by gentle tapping with a plastic hammer, evenly screw hexagon-head bolts into the two M8 threads of the brake disc, thereby pressing off the disc.
