34 21 200 Removing and installing or replacing brake pads on both rear disc brakes (TRW floating caliper): Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW Z4, 2012 BMW Z4, 2011 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2009 BMW Z4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove lining springs (1) and replace.

Installation note: 

So as not to damage the surface coating, if possible do not mechanically clean  the guide surfaces (1) for the brake pads on the brake caliper mounting bracket.

Instead, clean with brake cleaner and apply a thin coating of brake pad paste.
