NOTE :I AM NOT A QUALIFIED VEHICLE TECHNICIAN!
Always nice to have clean brakes , especially in Winter,
This is Part 2 of how I cleaned my brakes on my BMW R1250GS.( Also R1200GS ,BMW GS1200, 1250 GSA, 1200 GSA)
Takes about 20 minutes
Use either brake cleaner, washing up liquid or both.
There was no need to sand the discs/pads as this was a simple cleaning task.
I used Mic off brake cleaner

some technicians dont actually advise pushing the pistons on a brake caliper specially if it is a abs unit coz it might damage the abs module,if doing so cant be avoided they advise to open the brake master cap,not sure though

many thanks for the video, and you actually stated the torque for the caliper which is what I was searching for.

Well done. I clean mine every season or whenever I remove the wheels for a tire change or when changing the brake fluid.

Thank you for your very informative video. My rear break is binding, causing the disc to become very hot and thus causing the inner mud guard arm to melt😳. I will have to strip the back Caliper down and clean👍

I had a similar problem, it's verty common and I suspect mostly unnoticed that the front slider pin drys out corrodes ans sticks, every time you clean the caliper you should also separate it from the mounting/slider bracket, clean and lubricate the pins (with rubber friendly grease) and re-assemble prior to re-fitting the caliper. My rear brake was working fine but not sliding on the pins, so only the piston side pad is effective. Symptoms are piston side pad wearing more and some tightness/binding of pads with resultant heat from mild to serious. after lubricating the slider pins, things work much better. PS: Great video, thanks!
