In Reply to: Brake pad replacement instructions posted by CH on January 21, 2001 at 15:08:59:
im going to go ahead and skip the removal of the wheel,jackup,support ,im sure you know all that.If you dont,then i recommend to have them done at a shop.
drivers side 1st ok?
to make things more accessable turn steering wheel comepletely to the right.(to the left for the passenger side)
1.compress caliper inward all the way with a large flat screw driver
2.remove the 2 big 6 point bolts from the rear.(not the small shaft allen screws)
3.remove small allen positioning screw from rotor (disc)
4.send disc off to be rectified.you may have this done at any brake shop or some auto parts may also offer this service.usually costs from $5-$10 a disc.if disc is badly grooved because of pad reaching the metal,then you may have to replace the rotor with a new one.luckily bnw rotors are not expensive.
5.snap off the pads,and replace with new ones(from experience= I strongly recommend using the ATE brand original pads).if after installing the pads,the disc wont fit? remove new pads,place back the old ones,position on disc,and comtinue to compress the caliper (which was not done sufficiently the 1st time).(unless you have a compressing tool for calipers,if not the screwdriver works fine)
6.assembly is reverse
good luck!
