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.

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.

Do not damage the rubber bellows

Using a T30 male Torx socket, remove the screw.

New parts
-
With the new parts are supplied the 2 caliper screws, the screw of the disque and the accessory kit. I did not use the accessory kit as there was none fitted to the car.
-
Check that the diameters of the disques are the same.
-
Compare the thickness of the disque nine
-
with that of the old one.
-
-
-
Put some graisse cuivrée on the hub to prevent the disque glue on it.
-
Spray some nettoyant frein on both sides to remove the paraffin which serves to protect the metal from rust.
-
-
-
Position the disque then fix it with its screw.
-
Put some threadlock on the old caliper bracket screws you're going to use to secure it.
-
-
-
THE plaquettes have a sheet of paper on their support faces because there is glue on it which will allow the plaquette to stay in position on the caliper and piston.
-
Position the 2 plaquettes on the caliper support then remove the paper sheets.
-
-
-
Use the 2 new screws to secure the caliper.
-
Once reassembly is complete, press the brake pedal several times to engage the plaquettes leaning against the disques.
-
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
-
For the running-in of plaquettes new, 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.
