Front Brake Disc Replacement
Removing and Installing Front Brake Disc
Removal
1. Take off front wheel.
2. Disconnect brake pipe from brake hose at spring strut and remove brake caliper. Before dismantling the brakes, push down brake pedal with pedal
holder to prevent brake fluid from escaping from reservoir. Cover and plug brake hose and brake pipe (to prevent ingress of dirt). Remove
retaining spring from brake hose.
3. After having undone the countersunk screw(s), take off brake disc. If the brake disc is binding and cannot be released even by applying light
plastic hammer blows, screw two hexagon head bolts evenly into both 8 mm threads of brake disc and press off brake disc.
Installation
1. Check condition of all components and replace if required.
2. Clean end face and centering surface of brake disc and wheel hub. Apply a thin coat of Optimoly TA to centering surface of wheel hub.
