Introduction
Not a very complicated operation.
The main difficulties here are to put the vehicle on blocks due to the lack of support points, and to remove the caliper support which is tightened tightly and whose screws are not very accessible.
However, if you don't have the XZN M14 socket you won't be able to remove the disc, only the pads.

Place chocks behind the front wheels and then release the handbrake.

With a 13mm ring spanner
-
and a 15mm flat wrench remove the 2 screws.

Using a suitable tool, push the piston back all the way.
-
At the rear the caliper pistons are generally screwed in, a clamp will be useless, you need a tool that will screw in your piston at the same time as pushing it.
-
By pushing your piston you also push your brake fluid which risks overflowing through the reservoir into the engine compartment.

Clean your caliper and its support with a wire brush.

New parts
-
With the new parts are supplied the 2 caliper screws, the disc screw and the accessories kit. I did not use the accessories kit because there was none fitted to the car.
-
Check that the diameters of the discs are the same.
-
Compare the thickness of the new disc
-
with that of the old one.
-
-
-
Put some copper grease on the hub to prevent the disc from sticking to it over time.
-
Spray brake cleaner on both sides to remove the paraffin which serves to protect the metal from rust.
-
-
-
Position the disc then secure it with its screw.
-
Put some threadlock on the old caliper bracket screws you're going to use to secure it.
-
-
-
-
Use the 2 new screws to secure the caliper.
-
Once reassembly is complete, press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads into contact with the discs .
-
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
-
To break in new pads , do not brake hard during the first 200 km.
-
The effectiveness of the first braking actions may be reduced.

No need to completely disassemble the caliper, the discs can be removed without removing the fixed part.
