Guideline for applying brake pad paste on brake pads and brake anchor plate (Countryman 2017-2023, except PHEV)

IMPORTANT: 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 Tl. 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

Drive in the locking pins (2) in the direction of the arrow.

IMPORTANT: After the brake pads have been installed they must immediately be bonded to the brake pistons:
  • Step on the brake pedal to the floor and hold the pressure for one minute. This causes the brake pads to adhere to the brake pistons.
