Below you will find the process from the manual that will help get this finished. Please let us know if you have other questions.

Lastly, here is a guide that will help with flushing the fluid if you chose to do this:

I know it seems kinda trivial but I am having trouble removing the discs, cant seem to get discs off, whether it was worn on good and proper and I was too weak (lol) or I was doing it wrong. Could anyone give me proper procedure on R&R front brake discs please.

Thank you

If there are any screws holding the rotor, remoe them first. After removing the brake calipers, you should be able to take them off. If it is stuck too tight, some hammering ot the hub is required. A better way would be to use 2 pieces ofr 10 X 1.25 mm bolt to slowly tighten into the 2 holes on rotor.
