Brake Pads and Rotor Replacement

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Brake pads

This video shows how to replace the rear brake pads and brake rotor on a Mini Cooper. Use a screwdriver to remove the cap covering the wheel fixing bolts. Remove the wheel and, using a ratchet spanner, unscrew the two bolts that secure the brake caliper bracket. Also disconnect the brake sensor using tweezers. Remove the caliper and use a screwdriver to extract the worn pads. Now, using a star screwdriver and a hammer, remove the screw that secures the brake disc. Replace it with a new disc. Position the new disc and secure it with its screw, then refit the caliper. Take a new set of pads and position them like the previous ones. Also replace and reconnect the new brake sensor cable. Use a spacer to compress the pads and refit the caliper and the pins that secure it. Reassemble everything as before. Finally, press the brake pedal slowly a couple of times to stabilise the pads' grip.
