00 00... Front and rear brake linings: checking lining thickness with measuring gauge. If linings are replaced: cleaning brake shafts, checking brake disk thickness and surface, applying grease to wheel centering on alloy wheels. If rear linings are replaced: checking parking brake linings
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW 530i, 2002 BMW 530i, and 2001 BMW 530i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check brake lining thicknesses with measuring gauge at front and rear. For subsequent procedure, refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I .
NOTE:
Issue a separate invoice for replacing the brake linings.
Remove front and (if necessary) rear disk brake linings. For further information on how to proceed, refer to
- Removing and installing front disk brake linings, refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I . .
- Removing and installing rear disk brake linings, refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I . .
NOTE:
- Clean brake shafts.
- Replace brake linings if they drop below minimum thickness (refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I ).
- Replace brake disks if they drop below minimum thickness (refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I ) and in event of scoring, heat cracks, lateral runout or thickness difference.
- Apply a thin coat of grease to wheel centering on light alloy wheels.
Additional Tasks When Changing Rear Linings
Remove rear brake disks. For subsequent procedure, refer to DISC - M5, 525I, 530I & 540I .
NOTE:
- Check parking brake lining for porosity and wear.
- Check expansion lever for ease of movement.
