Operation: How to remove Mini rear disc brake

In this detailed video we will see how to disassemble a rear disc brake of a mini. Let's start by taking a screwdriver, removing the hubcap of your Mini. With a telescopic wrench we remove all the locking pins 17 of the wheel, then, we lift the car on a column bridge and remove the rim. First, we disconnect the brake sensor with a nose pliers, second, we unscrew the pins of the brake caliper and pull it off with the help of a screwdriver. For convenience we tie the piece to a cable so as not to let it dangle. We remove the brake pads and disassemble the disc with an insert 16 ratchet wrench, unscrew the 15 torx front pins with the help of a hammer. Always remember, before reassembly, to clean the caliper support with a brush with all the related parts, always lubricate where necessary. Let's get ready to mount our new brake disc, tightening the pins, mount the caliper support with attached parts and pads with attached caliper. If necessary we change the brake sensor with a new one. We finish tightening all the disc pins, mount the rim by tightening them, with a telescopic wrench with tightening warning. Check the brake pedal if it gives the right pressure.
