  6. Remove the brake disc (B) from the front hub.
    NOTE: If the brake disc is stuck to the front hub, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (C) into the brake disc to push it away from the front hub. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc from binding.
  7. Install the brake disc in the reverse order of removal.
    NOTE: Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.
  8. Inspect the brake disc runout, thickness, and parallelism (see FRONT BRAKE DISC INSPECTION  ).
