Very helpful video. Thank you.

To compress the caliper cylinders without the ratchet special tool you keep the old pads in and pry against each side with a screw driver.

I’m searching for a video on the previous gen and clicked on this one and within the 1st 30 seconds of doing the work I’m already jealous. The newer ones use just regular sockets. I have to go searching for a gigantic torx bit for my 2010. 🤬

Original pads look like they are still good.

[@baden-baden]

Yes, for the miles very good quality!

[@mahadhiral-qudsi5791]

Hi bro, great tutorial video!
Just one question, is it possible to replace the Brake Pads without detaching the Calipers?

[@baden-baden]

Thanks,
Honestly I never tryed that , because I always like to clean the pistons and brackets.

[@mahadhiral-qudsi5791]

@@baden-baden Alright bro. Thanks man.

[@mojo4376]

You can leave the caliper on and just remove the pad bolt.

[@Docv400]

A quick swipe with a flannel is not good enough.
The Pistons need to be scrupulously cleaned before pushing them back into the Caliper, otherwise you're pushing all the built up road crud into the Seals.

[@gp9608]

Really only 6 nm for that torx? Where do you read it ? I'm doing the same thing, but I'm little bit afraid to be rong with that torque.

[@baden-baden]

Check bmw website and make sure is the correct torque.
Thanks

Your 2018 GS has Brembo calipers. My 2019 RT has Hayes calipers. Are the Brembo calipers superior to Hayes?

[@baden-baden]

Hi,
Not sure about that , but my brakes are great , love it.

[@เบิ้มนะครับ]

Sorry, why do you think brake pads EBC is better than Brembo?

[@baden-baden]

Hi,
Over the years just trying to see how is the performance on this brand, a lot of people recommend me this brand!

[@surferdude642]

I changed the pads on my 2015 R1200r, same braking system, and also used EBC. The reason though, was price. $230 for Brembo pads from dealer vs $80 for EBC. If the price difference was closer, I would buy the Brembo's. Both are good, Brembo pads lasted a long time. We'll see about the EBC'S in that regard.

[@eekg3412]

Nice video! Is it the same for the rear breaks?
Just payed 80 euros for that, and clearly its a ”5 min” job… 😂

[@baden-baden]

Yes , it is the same job in the back!

[@eekg3412]

Great!
