Scooter Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 the pistons just push back.... Rear disks, you need to have the hand brake off/released and remove the little rubber grommet on the disk that reveals a hole, rotate the disk til said hole is at approx 6 o'clock, shine light through hole and you'll see a toothed wheel facing you, use a screw driver to flick it up/down to adjust the handbrake shoe to allow you to remove the disk and then readjust when the new disk is on.

Digsy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You'll also need to used jacking screws to get the rear disks off. There are two tapped holes in the face of the disc for this purpose. Use two M8x1.25 screws. Clean out the holes first and then gradually and evenly wind the two jacking screws into the disc. That will prise it off the hub.
