When changing my brakes I had to drill the two screws holding the disk ( two flat head M6X15, phillips socket). When I instaled the disk, I did not put them back. They seem there just for the intallation and not for holding?
Is this assasement good?

Thanks !

Hello,

That is correct, those screws are not necessary. They are there to hold the rotor in place during assembly process.
However, it is best to install those screws if possible.

I have included the brake pads replacement procedures for anyone who might be looking for the instructions.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
