1. Chock up the car as usual.

2. Remove wheel.

3. Remove clip for brake line

4. Remove brake pads by unbolting the lower bolt holding the swinging arm of caliper.

5. Remove both bolts holding caliper assembly.
(top bolt)

(bottom bolt, picture taken upside down)

6. With the caliper assembly out of the way, remove the hub by inserting a screw (you'll need one handy) into the two holes and turning clockwise until the hub moves out.

7. Get your new discs ready.
(If you plan to paint them, nows the time. Use high-temperature paint as an undercoat followed by any colour you choose.. I like gold ;-) )
Thanks to Pulsar Parts for the rotors, they were from a 1.6L N14 Pulsar

8. Attach your new disk to the hub.

(Paint your caliper at this stage if you plan to, careful not too much on the rubber parts as paint melts the rubber)

9. Use a piston retracting tool like this one to push the piston as far back as needed.

10. Reattach the caliper

11. Remove shims from old pads and attach back to new pads.

12. Install brake pads

12. Bolt the caliper back together.

13. Reattach clip for brake line.

14. Enjoy, it's all done now. Bed in your new brakes, and rotor using manufacturers recommendations (5 high speed stops did it for me).

 

 

Just a picture of my old rotor, they were stuffed as!
