Hi everyone,
Welcome back to the channel.
In this video we will be carrying out a complete replacement of the rear discs, pads and wear sensor on the BMW 1 series. This process is identical for all of the one series models with the only real difference across the range being the size of the disc. The process however is largely the same.
I hope that you find the video informative. If you enjoyed it then please don't forget to like, subscribe and comment for more videos from Kev's Shed.
See you all again real soon for the next video!

Thanks so much for the video. Will be trying it soon. A friend of mine told me that the rears were a nightmare as you have to mess around with the handbrake shoe? If so it’s above my pay grade 😂 thanks again.

@KevsShed 2 года назад

I also made an easy to follow video on handbrake adjustment, be sure to check that out too! 👍🏻

@AT90_ 2 года назад

Another handy tip. There’s a cylinder under the handbrake gaiter that pushes in to release the handbrake fully.

@KevsShed 2 года назад

I guess you haven’t seen my video on handbrake adjustment then? 😁

Hi and chance there's a video in changing the shoes thanks

@graemeedwards1518 3 года назад

Hi Kev, thanks very much for doing this video. You mention telling the car computer the service has been done. Is this done through the dash display or via a tool. If via tool, can you share what tool you use?

What’s the torque specifications for the model one front and rear brakes?

@andybeaver350 3 года назад

Really helpfull and interesting video. Can I ask, is there a reason as to why no copper grease or similar wasn't used?

@KevsShed 3 года назад

Because it’s not required and for some reason it seems that everyone thinks it is! It’s not specified in any factory manual that I own and I don’t expect it to ever be!

How can I find out the torque wrench settings for the callipers on my series 1 E88 2012 good video keep it up very helpful 👍

@cbpriv 4 года назад

Be sure to use medium strength threadlocker after cleaning the bolts, that way they will stay on, even if you cant find the right torque values and just snug them up, dont put greace on the bolts, thats what I did on my 1 series.

@KevsShed 4 года назад

Sorry buddy, only just seen this comment, I’ll have a look in my manual tomorrow morning and get back to you 👌🏻

@scottchristie3503 3 года назад

Are the calipers in this video made by TWR ?

@Kabaselefh 4 года назад

What are the tools you used to remove the bolts on the brake calipers and the brake disk. Thank you

@KevsShed 4 года назад

If I recall correctly, the two calliper bolts are removed with a 16mm spanner and the retaining bolt on the brake disc is removed with a 7mm hex socket or Allen key 👍🏻

@garywilson292 4 года назад

Simplified nice one mate

@KevsShed 4 года назад

Cheers budfy

@garywilson292 4 года назад

Done the back brakes earlier really straight forward never done brakes before took me 90 mins, left piston on the Caliper was really stiff got it tho. Il be using your threads again in future making covid 19 bareable haha

@KevsShed 4 года назад

Glad to hear it mate! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment 👌🏻

@andyridley2236 4 года назад

On brake disc that are rusted on its easyer to hit between were the studs go when taking the disc off.

@KevsShed 4 года назад

Possibly, but I would advise that you do that on a car that actually has studs as hitting one of the studs with a hammer is going to damage it!

@hughharvey6359 4 года назад

Hi Kev - Have you managed to produce the video on adjusting the handbrake yet? Very helpful video! Need to replace pads and disks but don't want to start until I know I can do it all myself

@KevsShed 4 года назад

I certainly have, take a look through my videos and you’ll find it! 👌🏻

@umranafzal2969 3 года назад

I tried to take the discs off and I ended up rounding the nut that holds the disc. How do I get the disc off now?

@KevsShed 3 года назад

This has happened to me in the past, If it is a disc that you are going to discard then use an angle grinder to remove the head of the bolt. Then you can remove the disc and the stud left behind will usually be easily removed with a decent set of grips.

@jacobdevine885 4 года назад

Sorry I went to do this today and found it hard to get to the back bolts? I have a 1 series 5 door it looks relatively the same ? Except it's a solid disc not vented. Can I ask what you used to get the bolts out? A 16mm 6 sided Hex fits Do you use a 16mm 3/8 drive hex socket with a universal joint and a 3/8 ratchet ? Just dont know what tools I need to get to the bolts Wanna do these for myself obviously safely but have a go. Can you list the tools you used please I'd be a massive help ?

@KevsShed 4 года назад

One is really easy but the other is part covered by the end of the arm, I used a UJ to get to that one. The job is the same even if the discs are solid 👌🏻

@jacobdevine885 4 года назад

I've got 1/4 ratchet and tourque wrench and a 1/2 drive tourque wrench Did you use a 3/8 drive Rachet to get them out easier ?

@KevsShed 4 года назад

J D I used a 1/4” set

@robmount1179 3 года назад

@@KevsShed that's a 3/8 ratchet on your video. Surely not a 1/4 that's tiny you'll never get any torque through that.

@KevsShed 3 года назад

What torque spec where the caliper bolts tightened too? any threadlocker used?

@hogasreluflorentin2105 3 года назад

the torq is 16..... hi just YOLO, bad brake change bad job, a lot of mistakes made

Is adjusting the handbrake a must ?

It is if you need to pass an MOT.

@garydeandeery 2 года назад

@channelejg5862 3 года назад

Very good but I would of copper greased the back of the pads

@KevsShed 3 года назад

A lot of people would but it’s a daft practice that has absolutely no benefit at all!

@AT90_ 2 года назад

Most pads now come with a material backing plate which mitigates the need for it on the bad of the pads. However it’s good practice to apply anti seize on any contact points to prevent them seizing in. If the hub has been copper slipped the disc would have been much easier to remove.

@alexandrevieira9946 4 года назад

Hi ive replaced a couple weeks ago rear break pads . Ive noticed the clip came out and its smelling like burned pad.... Can i just put the new clip back on ? Or i need to bring evertjing apart

@KevsShed 4 года назад

Hey buddy, thanks for watching. I am unsure what clip it is that you mean do you mean the anti rattle clip that fits on the outside of the caliper? If so then you will probably be fine with just fitting a replacement. I hope this helps 👍🏻

@scottchristie3503 3 года назад

Sorry meant are they TRW Calipers 👍

@KevsShed 3 года назад

Very possibly, TRW make a lot of calipers for many of the BMW range

@scottchristie3503 3 года назад

@@KevsShed I've got them on my 1 series and yours looked very similar, I didn't realise you remove the carrier first, I'd been a trying to loosen the 13 mm caliper bolts, with no success lol..but now I know 😂 thank you very much appreciated 👍
