Mini Countryman Rear Brakes DIY

[@paulabram85]

Hi Kevin, Changed discs and pads yesterday on my wife's paceman, all via your instructions, can't thank you enough, made me feel like an expert 😂

[@bobloblaw3191]

Thanks for the video. I'm really curious what your rear jack point was?

[@PhilWood-j9i]

Mate. Thanks so much for both front and rear videos. Other than needing tools I didn’t have, they made it so easy to do the full change front and rear. Did you know, mole grips and a g-clamp work as well as your special tool? 😂😂 Also note. If from the UK (like me) think about what passengers side and drivers side mean. 😂😂😂

Not sure if you know or not, is this similar to the newer model countryman? I have a 2022 S all4 and they are charging $800 for just pads! So I want to learn to do this for my car to save quite a lot of money.

Great video Kevin! Thank you so much. Have you had any problems with the seat mat sensor? I have both srs airbag and seat belt light on!

[@DariusMarty]

What tool was it that you used to compress the caliber?

[@milsimr0b069]

Caliper Compressor. You can get one from any Auto Parts store. I have one from O'Reilly's and one from Matco.

[@milsimr0b069]

Update: These are a specific kind of Caliper. Instead of compressing the Caliper Piston, you have to twist the Piston with a specific kind of Piston Compressor. You will be able to rent this through a Auto Parts store.

@@milsimr0b069do you know the part number for the tool i want to buy one

[@ChrisWilliams-mw5mx]

Is it necessary to replace the wear sensor when doing the pads? My Mini countryman has 60k miles on it currently. Thanks.

[@KevinsEuropeanGarage]

I would replace them that's a small cost

[@pdiddly5310]

only if the sensor has been worn by doing its job

[@joesaavedra1923]

Quick question. I have a mini countryman 2014 base model The mini brake kit that you are using is only for the sport car or will fit both models. I have already placed the kit that you have listed on the fcpeuro link. I will appreciate the response Thanks..

What Jack stands do you use?

[@adamm.1749]

I have the tool to compress the piston, So based on your last video you only need this for the rear pistons? Also I know you didn't open the brake lines but no need to bleed the brakes?

[@milsimr0b069]

You don't have to bleed the Brakes when just replacing the Rotors, Pads and Sensors. You use the Caliper Compressor for both Front and Rear.

What size were the reverse torx bolts?

[@GraysonLynch]

According to the ones in my toolkit, they are size "e14"
