New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ABFS02889
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2007-2010 Mini Cooper. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2007 Mini Cooper
2008 Mini Cooper
2009 Mini Cooper
2010 Mini Cooper
2011 Mini Cooper
2012 Mini Cooper
2013 Mini Cooper
