How to Replace Brake Pads on a Mini

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

First, remove the wheel on which you need to replace the brake pads. Ensure you have jack stands to support your vehicle. Now, remove the bolts securing the brake caliper from the rear. This allows you to take off the bracket that holds the piston, enabling you to remove the pads. Next, press the piston back into its housing to make space for the new pads. Now, simply install the new pads, and you're done!
