Replacing Front Brake Pads

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

Lift your vehicle and place it on axle stands, remove the wheel in question, and proceed to unscrew the two bolts located at the back of the brake to free the part containing the piston. Before removing it, compress the piston. Now remove the front and rear pads and proceed to remove the other bolts at the back. You can now remove the calipers that held the pads. By removing the bolt inside the disc, you can take it out and replace it. For reassembly, simply follow the steps in reverse.
