Today's step-by-step instructions will guide you through removing and replacing the front brake pads on a Mini Cooper. First, lift the vehicle and start by removing the front wheel; then, unscrew the bolts securing the front brake caliper, detaching it from the disc by pushing the caliper piston back.

At this point, remove and replace the brake pads with new ones, ensuring they are inserted in the correct orientation; clean any residual dirt from the caliper, reattach it to the disc, and securely tighten the two mounting bolts!
