Great video! I'm no stranger to brake jobs, but I hear the rears on E60s can get tricky so I have been putting it off...which I can do no longer. I'll be rewatching next weekend as soon as my new pads and rotors arrive so I finally get the job done!

@D. & L. Thank you for the comment and feedback! I really appreciate it! Good luck with the brake change 👍🏻

Good Video!

Great video, as ALWAYS, thanks for the shout out, nice to be appreciated, so did you actually find plusgas was a better product than WD40 or a placebo effect ? It's available from eurocarparts and it's pretty cheap on there as well 👍. Just 1 thing you forgot to mention, I think your E 60 is a PRE LCI model, my 2010 LCI model has the adjuster cog for the rear handbrake at the 9 o clock position,yours is at the 6 o clock , not sure if they changed it on the LCI model or BMW wanted to have a larf and put it here, there and everywhere, another good video for you to do would be the rear handbrake shoes on this car, but have a rest for now and rest your poor wounded hand 😓😓😓

@t5jerry Thank you!! And you're very welcome ☺️ yes I definitely found it better I have just done a brake fluid flush this morning and I would have struggled without it, those bleed nipples were on there solid! I don't think they had been moved in years! The fluid was shockingly bad too. Thats next week's video. Ahhh yes that would make perfect sense! 👏👏. Well thank you once again for your support I really appreciate it!

@@TheBimmerFixer I know WD40 has the market cornered, and good luck to em, it's the go to product, a bit like I always say " hey Google" , it's also cheaper than plusgas , but it's horses for courses, WD40 has a multitude of uses, plusgas is designed for freeing off rusty seized parts, period. As for the smell, I lost my sense of smell over 20 years ago, so it smells of nothing to me, the wife says I " pen & ink " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that BMW recommends NOT to use grease or silicone on the caliper guide pins.

[@thomasstiglich3484]

Which may be why yours looked dry when you removed them.

[@MrAzos09]

Do you have to remove the brake disc? Can you just swap brake pads?

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@MrAzos09 Hi, no you can change the pads without removing the discs 👍🏻

Hey, torque specs on the gliding bolts?

turn the wheel of the car to the left so you get a better angle!

[@TheBimmerFixer]

@atomicdetailsoc Hi, yes I totally agree 🙈

[@mechanich1249]

Those brake discs brand are cheap and nasty never again.
