Model: Mini Mini R55, R56, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Brake pads replacement

Purchase the new pads then disassemble the wheel and gently disassemble the caliper by removing the two stops with a ratchet wrench. Remove the brake fluid pipe that feeds the piston. Remove the worn pads that you will replace with two new ones of the same type and before installation clean any dirt with a brush. Reassemble the bracket by cleaning and greasing the fixing screws, then always tighten them with a wrench. Reassemble the caliper. The pad with the electrical contacts must be mounted inwards, paying attention to the direction of travel. Realign the piston by pushing it inwards and check the adherence of the pads to the disc. If necessary, top up brake fluid.
