I have decided change my brake rotor to better ones and here is my story biggrin.gif

1. Brembo max disc ordered... wink.gif

not cheapest but reasonable price for "plug-and-play" part.

2. removing wheel
nice to have tools...
- usual tools for wheel take off
- something for stubborn screws (like WD-40)
- hammer (handy every time biggrin.gif)
- wrench 17 and 14

3. removing caliper
by those two screws remove caliper away...
IPB Image
...by two wrenches (like picture below showing... one for holding, and second for un-screwing... sorry I can't describe that better kindasad.gif)

4. removing brake pads and caliper mounting
remove pads is easy, that hardest part are caliper mountings held by two screws...
IPB Image
those two bolts were rusted and stubborn unbelievably!!! W/o WD-40... (and hammer help sometimes) it could not be done... my car almost fell off the lifting jack during that kindasad.gif.

5. removing rotor
IPB Image
nothing but rust holds that disc -> just gently knock on and it fell off...

you can see all that rust (after hammer work smile.gif) and really bad condition of inner part of rotor.

6. just make it look good and re-assemble everything...
now it's done... just put everything back on (plus in my case use some direct-to-rust-metal-paint for rusted parts).

note: you maybe would need push back caliper piston if new rotor is wider or you change brake pads (recommended) by some pliers like this:

(I don't know how you call that)

plus:

...just as a tip, lubricate the inside of the pistons inside the rubber seal.


And results you can see below smile.gif:
