Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R53, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake discs
Operation: How to replace the rear brake discs on a Mini R50 R53

In this video we can see how to replace the rear brake discs of a Mini R50/R53: we start by opening the brake fluid cap, then we lift the car and remove the rear wheels; we separate the brake pads, then unscrew the attachment and disconnect the retaining spring; we can remove the caliper, which we will tie to the body with a wire, without disconnecting it to avoid depressurizing the system. We remove the pads and clean the fixing elements with WD-40; we unscrew the caliper attachment and then unscrew the brake disc screws, which we can remove. We clean the hub and then treat the surface with copper grease; we can install the new brake disc, install the caliper support and then the brake pads. Now we have to reassemble the brake caliper and secure it. Using a brake cleaner, we remove the anti-corrosion grease from the new brake disc, and with WD-40 we treat the mounting seat of the brake caliper retaining spring. We put back the spring and without starting the engine we press the pedal several times, until we feel the right resistance. We treat the surface with which the disc contacts the wheel with copper grease. We put back the wheels and lower the car. Job done.
