Fill the gap between disc and caliper with something suitably thick to

support the disc from one side and use something handy as a lever on the

other side to push the piston back. Then do the same on the first side.

That`s easy :-)

________________________________________________

to remove the rotor, first remove caliper,remove center dust cover,loosen allen

screw on clamp type hub nut, loosen nut, outer bearing will fall out when you

pull the rotor off,so take it off so it doesn`t fall on the ground, put it in a

baggy or somewhere clean, the rotor will have to come off of the hub,its held

on with five large allen screws, get the one that fits your 1/2" drive

rachet,you will probably need a breaker bar,the book calls for a vise but i

bolted mine back onto the wheel and tire and had someone stand on the tire

while i loosened the bolts,worked very well,you should inspect bearings and

repack and check seals, put hub, rotor and caliper back on and adjust

bearings,thats the part i hate, never know if im getting it just right,i

tighten the nut down to seat the bearings, then back it off till the wheel

spins fairly easy,then then grab the tire at 12 and 6 oclock and check for

play,you don`t want it too tight or too loose. mark

Daniel - With all due respect to you, if you have to ask this type of

question, you really shouldn`t be doing the work. Changing brake disc pads

is one thing (can be fairly easy for a DIY`er) but changing brake disc

rotors is a little more involved. The allen head bolts that hold the rotors

to the wheel hub can be difficult to remove. But, that being said, in

addition to the method Mark outlined, I usually covered the bearing

"openings" with disposable surgical gloves to prevent any debris front

getting in there while I was clamping the rotor or wrenching out the allen

bolts. Lots of flaky rust in and around those discs.

Good Luck,

Eric Svendson
