Rear pads - F10
Hi
Just a comment to Steves very nice description : be carefull when you tighten the two bolts that fix the caliper. Be evare that the caliper can slide from side to side after gathering all the pieces. ( Before you touch the brake and the piston is in back position ). The bolts should not be over tightened - so use gently "experienced hand torque" or torque measuring tool.
I overtightened and the caliper could not slide from side to side. Result: hot disc and pads. I was aware and only took a short test ride, so no damage done. Now it is working perfectly. For your information, if you wonder why I do this myself. 1) former mechanics 2) price DIY in Denmark is 48,9€.
Price at dealer : 338 € - so saved in one hour for both sides : 289 €!
