I recently purchased a BMW i5 and want to learn how to change the brake pads myself. Can anyone guide me through the steps and provide some tips on what tools I will need?
ReplyChanging the brake pads on a BMW i5 is a fairly simple process that you can easily do yourself. The tools you will need are a lug wrench, a jack, and a socket wrench.
First, loosen the lug nuts on the wheel you are working on. Then, raise the car with the jack and remove the wheel. Next, remove the bolts holding the brake caliper in place and carefully remove the caliper. Finally, replace the brake pads and reassemble everything in the reverse order.
Be sure to check the thickness of your brake pads before changing them. If they are less than 3mm, it's time for a replacement. Also, make sure to properly torque the lug nuts when you're done to ensure safe driving.
