1. Jack up the rear of the vehicle and support it on axle stands. Remove the corresponding rear wheel.
2. Rotate the disk to examine the state of its surface. Slight scuffing is acceptable, but if excessive, the disc must be removed and replaced or reground. Check the disc thickness with a micrometer at several points.
3. To remove the disc, refer to Chapter 11 and remove the rear disc caliper and fastener hanger. However, do not disconnect the flexible tube of the brake system - tie up the caliper with twine or wire and place it under the wheel arch.
4. Remove the disc from the hub flange.
5. Before installing, check that the mating surfaces of the disc and hub flange are completely clean, then place the disc.
6. Install the caliper assembly as described in Chapter 11, but note that it is not necessary to bleed the hydraulic system.
