BMW X1 F48 Front brake pad replacement

[@moisessilva78]

Nobody ever mentions to take the top off the brake fluid housing cap before you compress your brake piston, your welcome.

Your son is the star of the show!

He is my star!! 😀

Short video get to the point - crystal clear and well explained. Next video if you have a chance I would love to see how to operate the manual reset button.

[@BWTECH0521]

Thanks, will do!

[@chriswhite4092]

Love the concise video. Wouldn't mind knowing the cone wrench size and socket size...save time :)

[@Mohamed-e2y]

Hello can you advise how to remove the alert "change to breaks" on computer then? It's going to disappear or need a manipulation? Thanks for your support

Thanks for the video. Great to see your son lending a hand 😃

[@BWTECH0521]

Thank you!!

[@geofffarrell8157]

Great video, what size is the flat spanner

[@BWTECH0521]

Thanks Geoff! I am not sure it isn't labeled. I would say it is a 16mm or 17mm. Alternatively, you could use vice grips.

Great video!!!! Very helpful. And the little one is so cute!!!!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊

@@BWTECH0521 I especially like how you let him help! That will likely be a lasting great memory for him.

Thanks for the detailed video!

[@BWTECH0521]

Thanks!

[@echopiece79]

Did you torque the caliper bolts to spec, or just a good hand tighten?

[@BWTECH0521]

I hand torqued them but always recommended to use a torque wrench!

[@dr.thiagoliberato6870]

Hi sir nice video! Can you help me with a question? Which weels the sensors are installed? Only in two? Or all of the four weels have sensor pads? Thanks.

[@BWTECH0521]

Thank you! There should 1 on the front, and 1 for the rear.

[@husqvarnaman8315]

Front left and right rear

[@CritterCustoms]

How is the pedal feel? I just upgraded the brakes on my 335 and the light pressure on the pedal leaves much to be desired. (Stops very aggressive and awesome when you use firm pressure) I'm thinking I should have not compressed the calipers as much as I did. I saw something about cycling the dsc pump to "relearn" the brakes. 🤷‍♂️

[@BWTECH0521]

It feels the same to me. It's pretty sensitive compared to other cars ove had, it is hard to brake smooth with this car even before I replaced the pads 😱

[@husqvarnaman8315]

The piston resets itself the first time you press the brake pedal. The brakes on the BMW ARE aggressive, its not you.

[@coronelsantos1911]

Great! What year is that car? I need to change mine and I am trying to find one that is iqual.

[@BWTECH0521]

Thanks. It's a 2016!

[@husqvarnaman8315]

The video was good but I wish you would mention the size wrenches and sockets needed beginning with the lug nuts. I see you are training your son up right. Ha

[@erkjeezy_7594]

Did you have any problems with spongy brakes after you changed the pads?

[@BWTECH0521]

Only on the first few brakes, then it came back to normal. This is because the piston was pushed in to be able to fit the thicker, new pad.

[@erkjeezy_7594]

@@BWTECH0521 changed mine and now the brakes are spongy. I wonder if air got in my brake lines when I pushed the piston back

[@frankjameslaflare7928]

What year is yours. I have a 16

[@BWTECH0521]

This was a 2016 as well

[@NikosTechDowntime]

Weird, how the sensor can't be reused

[@BWTECH0521]

I think it is because the sensor wears out with the pads to a certain threshold then throws the warning message.

[@chadparker1212]

That sensor is for life of vehicle not 1 time use

[@BWTECH0521]

No, they are not. They break, and that's how you get the light that tells you to replace the pads.
