Remove the brake caliper. Do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper. Support the caliper with a piece of wire to prevent damage to the brake line.
Remove the brake pads.
Remove the brake caliper mount.
Remove and dispose of the sheet metal rotor retainers.
Remove the brake rotor. If needed, bang on the rotor with a rubber mallet to loosen. Inspect the brake rotor for wear or damage. Refinish the brake rotor if necessary.


To install:

Clean the axle flange.
Install the brake rotor.
Install the brake caliper mount.
Install the brake pads.
Install the brake caliper.
Burnish replaced or refinished rotors.
