Tank you for a great video. Remember to Check the Break fluid reservoir when pushing in the pads. It can overflow. Also keep your foot off the break pedal to get to the reset menu.

Super easy! Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!!!! More videos please!!!

Very useful! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the video. It was useful to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your time.

Hi, nice video, is this the exact same process for 318d e91 ?

One look at this. ‘Books into garage’. Cheers

My I drive/stereo is just blank... any tips on how to fix that?

I bought brake pads and they didn't have that metal clip that goes inside the caliper piston. Where did you get that from and how do you fit it?

Hi mate. Great video. I know this is a three year old video but if you see this and can help I’ would a really appreciate it. I’m looking to do my first every brake change by my self. I actually tried taking the calliper off today to check which pads I need and had I watched this video earlier, I would have known that little trick with the screw driver to slide out the the two 7mm Allen key screws and have been successful. So will try again in my next day off. 👌🏽👍🏽 anyways, am I correct in assuming that your front brake disc is 330mm? And is there inly one type of pad shape for that particular size disc as AUTODOC lists three options for ceramic pads for my front 330mm discs and they all look the same to me.

@fab-b9818

Hi, thanks, great if it can help you. I'm pretty sure there is only one pad shape. My front discs are 312mm at the front and 336mm at the rear on my 2006 330i.

Can you show the rear change the pads or replace

If the inner pad is worn more than the outer one, this usually means you’ve got sticky Caliper sliders 👍👍

Inner pad will always wear out slightly faster. But only slightly. When your inner pad is worn completely you should not have more than 4-5 mm of outer pad. More = sticky caliper.

Hi what size does the clamp have to be to use to wind back the caliper piston. I need to oder one but they have different sizes?

@fab-b9818

2 жыл бұрын

Hi for this car no need to rotate the piston so any clamp will do, even some big pliers can be used, just make sure to use an old pad to push on the piston, don't push directly on it if you use pliers.

Instead of replacing the cable, could you also use OBD to reset it?

@@brcleaningcompany2566 You should ask BMW why they have been such A**holes to force us to change a part that has no issues. There's probably a code in the part read by the electronics and if you don't change the sensor the code is the same and it won't allow you to reset. I'm maybe the only one talking about it but I've have many people asking me why the reset wouldn't work. Each time they hadn't replaced the sensor.But you can give it a try yourself if you want to confirm😄.

Never put grease on cloth backing of brake pads. Even ATE says in the manual not to put grease there. Grease will deteriorate the cloth after long time exposure!

You didn’t open the brake fluid cap to release the excess air, this can cause issues in the braking system

Those rotors are beat up bro replace them or you will develop a glazed looking surface and heat spots on the rotors and on the new Brake pads, therefore a reduction of braking performance will eventually will happen
