In this video we show you how to replace the rear brake pads and brake rotor on a Mini Cooper. Using a screwdriver, remove the fairing covering the wheel fixing bolts. Remove the wheel and with a ratchet wrench unscrew the two pistons holding the brake caliper support. Also unclip the brake sensor using tweezers. Remove the caliper and with a screwdriver extract the worn pads. Now with a Phillips screwdriver and a hammer remove the screw that blocks the brake disc. Replace the latter with a new one. Position the new disc, fixing it with its screw, then refit the caliper. Take a kit of new pads and place them like the previous ones. Also replace and connect a new brake sensor cable. Use a suitable spacer to compress the pads and reassemble the caliper and the pins that lock it. Reassemble everything as before. Finally press the brake pedal a couple of times slowly to stabilize the grip of the pads.
