What do you mean by disc brake, you mean in mounting the rotor to the hub or fastening a brake to the frame or fork.

Frame/fork

5mm allen wrench
6 or 8 inch adapter for whatever sized rotor you're using.

Attach caliper to adapter, use 5mm allen wrench to tighten and tourque it.

Attach the attached caliper/adapter combo onto frame/fork and make sure once mounted both bolts are good and tight.
