WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 MINI Cooper, 2007 MINI Cooper, 2006 MINI Cooper, and 2005 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Necessary Preliminary Tasks: 

After completing tasks, bleed brake system. Refer to 34 00 048 BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM WITH ABS/ASC+T .

IMPORTANT: Do not mix up brake lines and if necessary mark prior to removal. Seal off connection bores with plugs.

Fit pedal prop and press brake pedal slightly. This prevents brake fluid from escaping from the expansion tank and air from entering the system after the brake lines have been disconnected.
