Part: Brake pads

Today, you will see the procedure necessary for removing and replacing the rear brake pads on the BMW 1 Series, including the coupe version. First, lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheel; then unscrew the bolts of the rear brake caliper, which you will find at the back, disconnecting the wear indicator connector for the brake pads.
