Tips for changing discs?
 
First time i'll change the F&R discs on my car.
Any special tools for removing them? Nothing on FSM.
Any tips?

Thanks ;)

Easy on the rear. Easy on the front too, its just messy due to the wheel bearing which you should repack wth grease and also not over tighten

Thanks mate!
How check bearings with the wheel on?

The service manual explains how to check the resistance of the bearing, but you did it with the wheel off

about the nut for front disc I have a 32mm tool, is it good? Seems a littre free.

Its done up with very little torque. Very low. Something like 10nm, but you need to check the service manual

25nm i think mart, i'll check, still not a lot though :)

Well its done by measuring the resistance in the bearing. You need a newton meter to measure it, but what by I don't know.

I just did it until the hub started to get a little tight to turn and then loosened it off a few deg's
