Here I will go through few steps on how to replace rear disk breaks and break pads. There is not much to say about the procedure, although some tips could be helpfull:

STEP 1

First things first, before you decide to replace your break disks (rears or fronts) you have to have some special tools:

1. Impact screw driver is a must have in order to replace disks (see 1st picture below)
2. “C” shape clump 6″ in size
3. a decent hummer
4. also you need a tool set with different sizes wrenches
5. get a Penetrating oil (that helps a lot)
6. Breaks cleaning solution
7. Break Caliper Lube

NOTE: Don’t even think of doing the disk replacement by yourself if you don’t have an Impact driver around. I guarantee you likely going to have a lot of trouble removing two screws that hold disk in place.

Here are some pictures of what I’m about to install on my car. Those are KVR performance break pads and KVR slotted rotors.

Now this is how OEM breaks looked like:

STEP 2

Remove two bolts that hold break cylinder in place. Watch out for breaking line, you don’t want to damage it. Use liquid wrench or any penetrating oil first on those bolts as they are going to be very rusty.

STEP 3

Remove two bolts that hold break pads mounting frame. You will have to put some effort for that, but again use some penetrating oil and that is going to help you a lot:

STEP 4

Do thorough cleanup of the frame – remove and lube calipers, then put them back in, inspect rubber sleeves to make sure they are not ripped or damaged

STEP 5

Now is the fun part. Use impact driver tool to unscrew two screws that hold rotor in place. After those two are gone you will need to “hummer” the disk off the axle. 60K km later disk is literally “glued” to the mounting plate with rust. In order to remove it I used a wooden log big enough to have some weight. All I did was that I took a big swing and whacked right onto the disk edge with that wooden log. With one strike the disk popped from the it’s place safe and sound not damaged at all. You can hit it hard with a hammer but there is no guarantee that it will not break or crack or anything else.

Here what you will get after the disk is removed:

STEP 6

Clean the surface before installing new disk. Use sand paper and metal brush. By doing so you ensure there are no any particles that will stay between the disk and mounting plate  and disk rotation is not affected.

The assembly portion is no brainer. Install the disk, tie it with two screwss, use impact screw driver to tie those screws. Make sure the rotation is smooth and the disk isn’t floating left and right when rotating.

mount the break pads holding frame in place and tie it with two bolts. Use some thread locker. Then put break pads in place. One thing that I suggest you to do is “file” both sides of each pad to make sure they float freely without touching the walls of the holding frame. When installing pads make sure to install a pad with “screamer” on the inside. see the pic below:

That’s it.
Here is the end result of the procedure:
