Loosen the wheel bolts, jack the car up and remove the wheel. Look around the back of the caliper…
…and you’ll find a pair of 18mm bolts, remove these. (105Nm on refitting).
The caliper can now move out of the way of the disc.
The disc is held against the hub by 2x Torx40 screws. Remove them both
Then the disc can be pulled from the hub.
Fit your new discs in reverse order of above. The 2x Torx40 screws aren’t load bearing, they are just there to hold the disc in position. Just nip them up tight. Smart suggest 21Nm if you want to be precise.
Better Discs?
If you have the non turbo or the ED/EQ 453, you have the 12mm single thickness discs (lower disc shown below).
