Very clear, well lit video. Small comments. 1. Take lid off brake reservoir so fluid will flow displacing air in line and filling new caliper. 2. Don't get/transfer grease on pad surface by touching. 3. Re-tighten bleeder screw with flare wrench shown at 1:18.
For all those who are asking about the brake bleeds - Before removing the caliper, you can use a stick to prop the brake to pressurize the lines. This will prevent air from being sucked up the line after caliper removal. Usually I will still flush and bleed all my lines though.
This was awesome.. No words needed! But damn if when I did it, you will see signs of struggle and cussing and some wrinkled forehead concentration... This dude a robot?!!! This Mario brother mechanic is like "I do this with eyes close, but can't or they will know I'm a robot"...lol.. No facial expression whatsoever..!! Level: pro
After the brake line is detached from the caliper, will the brake fluid continue to flow out? In the video, the brake fluid was bled for a few seconds through the bleeding valve. Is that good enough to get rid of all the air in the system? Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for your feedback! You are completely right that the process of bleeding of brake caliper should be done till the moment when all the air will flow out from the brake system. It can take more time than it shows in our video but our videos show only the sequence of repairs, without going into all the technical nuances. Best regards, Autodoc.
great video as always but this ignores the likely reality that if your caliper piston is becoming seized then there is considerable likelihood your hose to caliper wont just easily crack off and spin so easy like in this video !
Well doesn't that look nice and cozy in a dry and warm garage LOL I'm about to go pull the same stunt in my ice-covered dirt driveway is currently -8 degrees out so I don't think mine will go as smooth as yours but here goes nothing 😂

Nice video. The bleeding of the brake is suspect but I get the idea behind replacing the caliper nonetheless. If you can share a video how to properly bleed the brake system on an e46 that would be awesome.
Good video, however the guy didn't tighten up the brake line using the special 14mm spanner. He only wound the caliper back on? Can't see him doing it back up again tightly.
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.
autodoc.co.uk Shouldn’t you show the whole process though because leaving small stuff out, especially on brakes is dangerous! Other than that good video but I think you should show every step that you do because that’s why people search for this stuff, for a step by step guide.
@@LimitlessCXIVI People are left without being satisfied now as to do it themselves. The video is only half decent. DIY job that looks easy enough but if you follow this video you could end up having a bad accident so In effect, it’s pointless

Also show touching pads on contact surface after handling pins. Hope he changed gloves. I always get some silicone grease on hands which would get transferred to pad. Looks like he dipped thread part of pins in anti-seize grease since they look red?

Do those calipers have copper rings as soacers
No spacer rings. I believe you are referring to red on threaded part of slide pins. This is probably anti-seize grease which is usually red.
QUALITY
Is there any reason that this can cause of body vibration ?!
Thank you for the feedback! We strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.

Yeaa wtf? 😂

to be fair bmw in the technical manual actually state slide pins should never be greased
What about brake fluid??? It will leak out normally, so where is it?? Use a clamp to save having to bleed ALL the brakes as it will empty system!

do you clamp the brake lines?
What's the special 14mm spanner ?
Thank you for the feedback! The usual spanner may be used for this. Best Regards, Autodoc.
