How to replace the rear brake pads on a Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake pads

To replace the rear brake pads on a Mini Cooper, lift the car with a jack or ramp so that the wheel corresponding to the pads to be replaced is not in contact with the ground. Once the car is raised, loosen the wheel fixing bolts, remove the wheel from its position, and access the components at the back. Here, you will find the brake caliper, which must be detached from the disc by unscrewing its fixing bolts: the pads inside can then be replaced with new spare parts.
