This is the one of the best how-to videos I have seen! Once I figured out the Allen and Torx sizes, doing both rear brakes took only 1 hour. Hardest part was getting the wheels back on! Front brake pads and rotors tomorrow!
I've done 50+ brake jobs in my life but this was the first with the electric parking brake on my BMW 550. The video really helped, thanks Bav Auto. Someone asked about whether or not they need to buy the piston compression tool. No. Most time you can use your two thumbs and slowly push the piston in. Sometimes you need to use one of the old brake pads, flip it so the pad side is on the piston, then compress gently from the back with a large channel lock (16" - 4" jaw) or a large C-clamp. One other note, when turning the electric brake center hole clockwise, understand it will take 30-40 quarter turns of a ratchet. It will finally stop. A handy tip is to have a jack stand under the caliper to support it while you prepare the pads and clips, it takes the strain off the brake hose.
Hey thanks for making this video. a couple questions from when I was working on a 2018 X3 and ran into a couple issues. When retracting the parking brake, I got it all the way to the end stop, but the piston wouldnt retract in when using a c-clamp. I thought it might have been due to the parking brake not fully retracted so i tried rotating it fully counterclockwise, then clockwise again. When that happened, the torx bit on the caliper side was able to spin more and now doesnt hit an end stop. The piston also came out of the dust boot and I was leaking brake fluid ( I messed up somehow, trying to figure out exactly where or how). I ordered a new dust boot and plan to rebuild and bleed the system. My questions are, is the park brake destroyed to where I need to buy a new one or can i somehow tighten the nut on the threaded portion behind the piston to repair it? How can I get the piston to fully retract afterwards so I can get the pads in? Should I open up the bleeder valve to release some pressure in the system? This is the first BMW i've worked on. Other cars i've replaced pads and rotors for didnt have this kind of system.
Good and clear step by step directions. What I notice about this and many other brake service vids; no one cleans the area first with Brake cleaner spray, and no one uses one or two drops of penetrating oil on bolts and nuts that have not moved since factory assembly, AND lastly, no anti-seize upon reassembly.
Excellent and clear video. Just one more thing. When you compress the piston, keep an eye on the brake fluid vessel in the engine compartment. If it is filled up to high , it may overflow when brake fluid is pressed back to the vessel.
Great video sir! For all you novice techs, the special skinny 15mm isnt absolutely necessary, ( normal 15mm will fit on most models), and you can compress the piston with your hand or a simple c clamp. Once again great video and to the point! This guy is good!
@@umustdv81 No need for for the skinny 15mm, I have been using a flat head screwdriver in the slot (small opening) to prevent it from spinning (top for clockwise/bottom for counterclockwise) for decades. I didn't know there was a tool for it. 😅😅😅
Excellent video. Clear instruction and specific tool needed. I don't have experience to work with electric parking brakes. But now I'm sure I can replace the break pads. Thank you Bavarian Autosport.
I have found it’s useful to loosen the brake disc (rotor) hub fastening bolt while the parking brake is still activated, to avoid rotating the disc. This is especially useful on the front discs (RWD cars). The disc fastening bolt is frequently stuck from rust).
Благодарю вас уважаемый Мастер за подробное видию. Такие маленькие мелочи экономят нам большие деньги. Которые мы можем потратить на семейный бюджет. Filen dank Ser!!! Будьте здоровы!!!
Darren Senerat I wish they would provide torque values for all the bolts. They mention the Bentley manual but unfortunately it doesn't exist for the F10/11 body style
Excellent tutorial. Thank you! You have earned my business in the future. Just a reminder to be sure the connector on the actuators are fully engaged. One of mine was very tight and didn't fully engage the first time. Needless to say, I got the dreaded “Parking brake malfunction”.
Really nicely done. I didn't realize that you could just remove the actuator and it wouldn't cause any lights. I bought the tool and it has worked great on a VWs, Audis and a few Mercedes. I will try it on a 2011 750I soon enough.
Very Professional Job Done and a clear explanation ! However one more thing has not been covered here,about how to reset the brake service on dash bord after replacing the brakes ? Thanks .
See the last 2 vids mentioned that you cannot perform this job without a tool that will release the PB to the out condition. Then told us the tool is cheap 😂 Glad i found this video
Excellent installation , I have to install breaks on 2008 750li if weather is sunny I have purchased the parts. One of your video changing transmission fluid was good one too it saved me a lots of money, after changing the transmission fluid the car will go forward only in any gear but won't reverse it was overheating , The problem was cooler lines from the side of radiator the both lines were leaking fluid the rubber hose were not working . I went to dealer the cooler lines were $ 773.00 the installation was extra , I did explain the situation they said get cooler lines installed if the problem still didn't solve come back we will be glade to get you a new transmission for $7000. Wen I install the cooler lines I started the car it was working perfect but was jumping backwards and forwards but there were no signs with transmission wheel or overheating. your vides are very helpful thanks for posting them.
Thanks! Did this today. To newbies like me who are intending to do this, first step before jacking up car is to disengage the park brake and chuck your wheels! And dont over tighten the electronic park brake the casing will break! Take it from me
thank you for the video. i now feel much more comfortable to do this job thanks to the knowledge you have provided. never heard of an Actuator. Great job on the video and discriptions.
Thank you Sir for this amazing video, I have a question, do I have to turn the Brake button ON or keep it OFF before we start replacing pads and rotors.
You forgot to mention that after replacement you have to pump brake pedal BEFORE start the car. Otherwise, the hydraulic brake code will pop out and you'll need a scanner to reset a code.
I always do this before starting the car to take the slack out between the caliper piston and new pads, but it will in some cases set a light if you do it powered on. Great tip
brilliant well explained video, thanks and i appreciate your time and effort to post this video, i now have that new found confidence to tackle the e brake A+++
Great video.just wondering if parking brake is applied while removing rotor or parking brake should be released. How do we do this you cannot put parking brake off unless switch ignition on or start the car. Please clear i am bit confused. Many Thanks
I can tell you that there is no need for complication on this job at all. This applies to F10's and F25's. The official method isn't even using workshop mode, they point to a SST. Even with workshop mode, you still need to push the piston back. Basically you can do it very quickly using a cheap windback kit with the 3 pin one. Remove the two 13mm guide bolts (Replace those bolts, aluminium with blue threadlocker on them). Replace the anchor guide springs (if available). Keeping low tension on the plate on the windback kit, rotate the piston with the windback kit clockwise and the piston will go in, do this till the piston bottoms out. Only use brake cleaner on the brake parts, brake anchor plate has a surface coating and a wire brush or sand paper is not allowed in the official repair instructions. Lightly grease the pad sections that contact the brake anchor points and fit them in. Wire brush the hub ring to allow wheels to go on easier. Torque guide bolts to 15nm (these are one time use stretch ones). Torque wheels in a star pattern to 140nm. The park brake will self adjust once 5km has been exceeded on a drive (they will not engage right after fitment). Bed in brakes as usual.
Depends on the car, all bolts must be replaced. Use a Snap-On Techangle 1/2", no lubricants or anti-seize is to be used. F01 to F18 (except for F03) 110nm - M12x1.5. F03 - M14x1.5 - tighten to 150nm, release 90 degrees, tighten to 150nm, tighten 180 degrees +- 15 degrees. F25 and F26 - 75nm, tighten to 45 degrees and then 10 degrees. - M12x1.5
TY Lovely video and great detail.. one QUESTION :: You Say @ 20:16 all we have to do is to activate the parking brake to reset the actuator and it is completed. after this actuator is reset, do you need to pump up the brakes "after" to seat the pads to the rotor or is pads already seated against the rotor after the actuator is activated?? ty for great video
As a guy who's worked on cars for 30 years - if anyone ever wanted to add anything to this instruction - I guess that would be purely personal - rather than factual. One thing though - did I overhear - or does the voiceover say "refer to the Bentley repair manual"? While mixing up two car brands starting with "B" - this is probably no big deal, either. Have replaced rear pads on my 2008 A6 (with the EPB, using completely truly original VCDS) - and the procedure on my 2012 (haven't done its brakes yet) F11 - as portrayed in this video - looks extremely similar. Except - I don't think there's a torx bit on rear of the EPB motor on the audi - and I wouldn't bother, either - VCDS is extremely easy to acquire and set up and use. Does it all make sense? Bentley, BMW, Audi? Well. Who knows. Thanks for the video, greetings from Latvia.
Excellent video. My BMW 640d has electric parking brake. However, your video does not show if you also need to release the parking brake from the control and if the ignition needs to stay on while doing the job to stop the parking brake coming on. Which is the case? Thanks
YZRandomE use a 9V Battery and connect it to the outer pins of the e brake connector. so you can use the e brake motor to make more space for the new pads. DONT pull the e brake piston in one time with the 9V, only step by step and only to the point of enough space for mounting. For calibration. pull 3Times the button for e brake. thats all. greetings
Just do it how he says on video I have done it this way 3 times doesn’t mess with anything …or if u have a computer use it .but this way doing back rear brakes with rotors and new pads done in a hr …
Hello, is there another part on the rear brakes for the AUTO HOLD feature? I have not been able to find a video that properly shows how AUTO HOLD works in conjunction with the rear brakes. I have viewed only 2 good videos (your video being the best) that clearly denote how to work with an Electronic Parking Brake. I have a 2020 X5 xDrive40i with MSport added (3.0l 6cyl), but the brakes are the 4 piston, non-colored caliper, not the large Brembo-type that is on the V8 MSport/Competition versions of this vehicle. Any data or good links are appreciated. Thanks =)
Me gusto su video ya que hizo limpiesa y utilizo grasa mata ruidos Excelente video lo Felicito, asi es como se debe hacer todo tipo de trabajo mecanico.
I'm doing a 2016 528i xdrive and am having a hell of a time trying to determine how to remove the rear rotor. Does that 12 point hub nut have to come off?
I followed all instructions and it was easy. But I didnt bleed it after the change and it seems to be fine. Not like a standard brake job I normally do. Did you bleed yours?
Those discs with the anti rust compound needs a little bedding before they work correctly. Drive a little while and perform some light braking. This grey substance will then come off to leave shiny discs that work correctly...
Followed this procedure to replace the rear brakes on my 2017 BMW M6. Reset the Rear Brake Pad light no problem. Now I have Parking Brake Malfunction light on. Any idea on how to fix?
hi, congratulations, excelent and pro work and video. quick question; does the dongle elm327 v2 wifi universal scaner is able to clear the electric brake codes? kind regards
Great video. I own a 2021 M440i. I have a scan tool to retract the EPB, my question is do I still have to remove the EPB from the back of the caliper before I can retract the caliper piston? Does the caliper piston push in or do you need a tool that turns the caliper piston back into the caliper?
And that's how you make a self help video, clear, concise and with just the right amount of detail. Thanks.

Just one more thing. When you compress the piston, keep an eye on the brake fluid vessel in the engine compartment. If it is filled up to high , it may overflow when brake fluid is pressed back to the vessel.
Yes thats the KEY and most important thing
If you check the level BEFORE you start, you should know if compressing the piston, which equals @ 4 ml of fluid, will cause an overflow.
2014 BMW X3 rear pad and rotor change successfully completed. Extremely helpful in dealing with the e-brake system to compress the piston. Thank you!

Did you have to turn the EPB the same way on both sides to retract it?

Awesome video, so the parking break you don’t do anything special with it? You just take it off put it back?
could you not apply 12v directly to the motor to spin it rather than taking the actuator off? great video!

Do I need to tight the screw from the piston before assembling parking brake actuator?
No.

You can leave the EPB in if you can retract it electronically.
You use this method when you don't have the scan tool
