Wheel Brakes:

Brake linings must be replaced when the warning threshold of the brake lining wear indicator is reached.

Brake linings must always be replaced on both sides of any axle.

The friction surfaces of the brake linings must not come into contact with oils or greases. The brake linings must be replaced if they are fouled by such substances.

In the case of rotation-dependent brake linings, make sure the arrow marking points in the direction of rotation of the brake disc for when the vehicle is moving forward.

Brake linings with left/right markings must be fitted on the relevant side of the vehicle.

One-sided angled areas on the brake linings must be located on the disc contact side of the brake caliper for when the vehicle is moving forward.

Brake discs must not be scored or cracked. Furthermore, minimum brake disc thickness, disc runout, parallelism and surface roughness of the friction surfaces must not exceed or drop below the permitted values.

Always strip preservative off new parts before installation. With the rear brake discs, also strip preservative off brake drum on parking brake.

Brake drums must not be scored or cracked. Furthermore, the maximum drum inside diameter, radial runout and surface roughness of the friction surfaces must not exceed or drop below the permitted values.

Always strip preservative off new parts before installation.

Only approved pastes on the basis of glycine must be used for repairs on brake calipers.

All moving parts on the brake caliper must move freely: note grease specifications.

Use only BMW-approved lubricants to grease caliper guides.
