You must be careful when replacing the brake disc, you need to remove the brake caliper entirely. If possible, try not to separate the brake caliper from the hydraulic circuit, otherwise the hydraulic fluid of the brake system will be released during the final process of changing the brake disc. During the installation process, you need to avoid straining the brake hose. You need to make sure that the connecting plate is dry, free from burrs and scratches. You can clean the brake surface of the automotive brake disc with a suitable detergent to remove the anti-rust oil. Because if the protective film of the brake surface is not cleaned, the braking effect will be weakened. When you install the brake disc, make sure that the torque is appropriate and constant.
