How To Replace The Rear Lamps On BMW 3 Series F31

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Light bulb

In the video we will see how to replace the rear lamps of a BMW 3 Series F31. We open the rear hood and using a slotted screwdriver, we unclip the cover of the fixing nuts of the rear light, using a socket wrench or a 10mm T-wrench we unscrew the nuts; now we can unhook the taillight and disconnect the electric cable. Once the light has been removed, place it on a soft surface to avoid any scratches on the outside of the light. With the help of a lever we release all the plastic clips of the lamp holder, so it will be possible to extract it. At this point we can replace the lamps related to the brake light and the direction indicator.

How to Remove the Front Brake Rotor on a BMW X3

Let's see how to remove the front brake rotor on a BMW X3. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Loosen the bolts with a socket wrench or air drill and remove the wheel, then start loosening the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket, using a screwdriver to remove the brake pads. Now remove the caliper bracket and loosen the bolts on the brake rotor (using a Torx screwdriver), pull the rotor towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Install the new brake rotor with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the rotor and the brake pads, then install the brake caliper, making sure to tighten all the bolts securely. Before mounting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and then tighten the bolt. Finally, install the wheel with the bolts.
