Then undo 12mm bolt at the top of caliper, and use a hammer and screw drive to tease the clip that holds your brake hose in place.<br />

Remove pads and then undo the two 14mm bolts that hold the pad carrier in place. Then slide disc off.<br />

Knock the centre cap off with an old flat bladed screw driver. You will then see the hub nut. Undo this 32mm nut. The bearing will then draw of the front.<br />
