Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement of the rear brake pads of the Mini.

To replace the rear brake pads of the Mini, we start by opening the engine hood and unscrewing the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. We loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car with a lifting bridge, and finish unscrewing the nuts, removing the wheel. Using a lever, we separate the brake pads from the disc, remove the protections, and unscrew the nuts to remove the brake caliper. With a lever, we remove the retaining spring, remove the caliper, and secure it to the shock absorber. We remove the old brake pads, clean the work areas using a wire brush and a specific spray, use a piston retractor to bring the caliper piston back into place, spread a little anti-friction paste on the pad seat, and install a new pair. We reassemble the caliper and tighten it with a torque wrench to 30Nm, reinstall the retaining spring and dust caps, clean the brake caliper carrier and apply a thin layer of copper paste before reinstalling the wheel, tightening it with a torque of 110Nm. We repeat the process with the other wheel.
