Thank you so much for sharing that! It would be nice if every parts vendor would include them in with the brake pads but unfortunately that’s not the case also it depends on how much the customer is trying to spend! But great info again and I am glad my video was helpful for you!
You only need to torque to specs if you’re changing the guide pins and caliper brackets new otherwise you don’t have to as far as the wheels most bmws torque to 90 ~ 100 ft-lbs
@@scotttaggart that is true Altho I didn’t mention it in the video but if the brakes aren’t ceramic coated they will have to be cleaned with brake cleaner! 🙌🏽
Hello, is there a break pad wear sensor on all 4 wheels? I'm seeing them sold as a single sensor for the front or rear when I expected them to be sold as a pair for the front or rear. Thx.
I believe you need a scanner to be able to put it in service mode I know there is other ways on some other cars where you take off the cover of the electronic motor for the parking brake and you unscrew it all the way which will be service mode then screw if back in once you’re done but I am not sure if that method would work on bmw!
Ok thanks. I know some older cars you have to turn the parking switch on and off and turn the ignition a few times to turn on that service mode light. Newer cars can just be placed in service mode through the HDMI screen on the center console by going to the service menu then brakes then service mode. I figured with all of BMWs technology it would be on the menu lol dammmmit! Gotta get me a nice scanner already 🤦🏽
If your car is equipped with electronic parking brakes then yes you will have to release the parking brakes with a scanner depending on which kind of scanner you have but the function should be under Service
Very detailed and makes me feel secure in the idea of making an attempt for myself. Thank you so much!
Great video. Very detailed , now I feel ready to replace the brakes my self.
Very happy to hear that! Thank you for watching 😊
Very helpful in replacing my rear pads/rotors on my 2 series. Thank you!
That’s awesome! I am glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!
The rear caliper bracket bolts are TTY (torque to yield), you should replace them every time you loosen.

Very detailed info!! Thank You. I'm going to attempt to change mines.
Thank you and good luck with your repair!!
Thx! Much appreciated.
You're welcome!
Do you know the torque values for the guide pins, caliper bracket and tire? Thank you.
you don’t want to torque to those values unless you’re installing all new hardware. And as far as I know the wheels are torqued to 90lb.

Nice. You never discussed cleaning the rotor. Normally they come with a thin anti-corrosive oil that needs to be removed.

Do I have to release the tension spring under the handbrake in the car to allow the rear discs to be removed.
If you have manual hand brake then yes for sure!!

There is one on the front driver and one one the rear passenger!
hi, you need to reset the sensor after installation or it just reset by it self?
Sensor needs to be reset with a professional scanner! My apologies somehow I missed your comment, hope the video was helpful 🙌🏽
No worries at all, thanks for response
You should remove and discard that axle cap. It creates rust and was removed by BMW in later versions.
@@dr-mn7ld good input 🙌🏽
What kind of grease are you using
Anti seize lubricant CRC from Autozone or O’reilly and the thread lock is Permatex brand!
I have a 330d f30 258ps 2012
What is the size of the front brakes? Please ?
Message me on TikTok or instagram and I will get you the part numbers!
What size was the socket? T 15 or T 50v
It’s a T50!
Can i put it in service mode without a scanner?

Did you need to put BMW into a service mode to release the parking brake? Thanks

Brake job of a very poor standard...
Thank for your input!
Haha! Got the job done didn't he? Where's your pro video? Please link. 🙏🏻
