34 00 x01 Guideline for applying brake pad paste on brake pads and caliper carrier

Attention!

So as not to damage the surface coating, if possible do not mechanically clean the guide surfaces for the brake pads on the brake caliper mounting bracket, but rather clean with brake cleaner BMW TI. Clean number 83 19 2 154 780 and apply a thin coating of BMW TI break pad paste. Coat number 83 19 2 158 851 (3 gr.) or 83 19 2 158 852 (100 gr.) .

Spread brake pad paste onto the marked surfaces using a brush!

(1) Brake pad paste 100 gr. BMW Tl. Number 83 19 2 158 852
(2) Brake pad paste 3 gr. BMW Tl. Number 83 19 2 158 851
(3) Brush for spreading brake pad paste over the marked areas.

Attention!

If new brake pads are mounted on a brake disc, the following must be observed:

Bevel edges in the area (1) slightly (dimension A must not exceed maximum 1 mm).

These procedures applies for all the following described brake systems.
