Quick help with replacing brakes
I don’t trust myself to get it right so can someone here please double check my work?
I have a 2014 335I Msport with stock brakes. I want to replace all 4 pads/rotors at once, will this shopping list be all that I need? Do I have the correct parts? Last edited by bobalis; 05-17-2018 at 05:16 PM.. |

I would also reccomend changing the rotor set screws since they can strip very easily if the tool slips. I went with the stainless ones. - https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-F30-32...h/rotor_screw/
Also, cleaning the caliper-pad contact points and hub surface is very important. Get a can of brake clean and some steel brushes and really take your time. Make sure to get ceramic lube on the caliper pins and the surfaces that contact the pad. For anyone looking to do this job and do not have an iDrive warning like above, you may not need new sensors.

It looks like you have got all the items you need but you will need access to other bits such as copper grease to coat the back of the pads, wire brush and brake cleaners to clean the callipers (don't use this on powder coated callipers) and pins etc. As above I don't know your exact car but from the basket I'm assuming you have fixed callipers at the front and floating at the back? If that's the case be careful not to split the rubber slide pin boots with the wire brush on the rear brakes when cleaning. For the fronts you will need a punch pin to remove the pins that hold the pads in the callipers. Also once you've removed the disc remember to completely clean the hub behind it as the new disc will need to sit perfectly flush. |
