Thank you for this helpful video. Details well explained. 👍

[@Motorcarnut]

Glad it was helpful! Feedback appreciated!

[@benergy100k2]

*Very good instructions and clear video. Thank you so much. This was very helpful.*

[@Motorcarnut]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[@CallumG0161]

Wear sensors work by breaking the circuit of the wires in the sensor. Not grounding , just for future reference

[@Motorcarnut]

True! But some work on grounding as well. Thanks for the comment!

[@daved95]

Thanks for that . GREAT

[@Motorcarnut]

You're welcome!

[@HowardVincent-jh1mk]

The clockwise/counterclockwise resetting of the brake sensor with a t40 wrench became a bit confusing. The video shows you turning it clockwise to screw it all the way in. You couldn't decide if you were going clockwise as if facing the part or counterclockwise with your left hand. Otherwise this was in excellent comprehensive video. Thanks!

[@Motorcarnut]

Sorry for that confusion. You turn it clockwise as if you were tightening a bolt. I know I said counterclockwise that was wrong but in the video I’m turning it clockwise.

[@samuelhart5670]

i saw another video its clockwise hes turning it clockwise

[@yeshuamedrano815]

thanks!

[@PH-md8xp]

Good video. You’re right, it be better to use a caliper retractor instead of a clamp. Thanks

[@Motorcarnut]

Thank you! and thanks for the comment

[@samuelhart5670]

and its clockwise on the gear turn

[@Alycanj]

great information, ty

[@Motorcarnut]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bud9719]

Great video man!…one ?…Do you “need to disconnect the plug from the electrical brake or can you leave it plugged into the electrical unit?..Is there any difference in leaving it or not leaving it plugged in?…Thanks man😁

[@Motorcarnut]

No problem. If it's not in the way, leave it connected. If you do disconnect it, it may throw a code but should reset itself.

[@samuelhart5670]

[@michealshields7882]

I'm assuming the scan tool electronically screws instead of taking the parking brake motor off and doing it manually correct?

[@Motorcarnut]

Yes

[@samuelhart5670]

might want to redo that clockwise counter clockwise its clockwise good vedo

[@Motorcarnut]

You're correct, I show clockwise but say counter clockwise. Must od been a long day.

[@IvanLopez-zy7oo]

Did you have to put the car into maintenance mode? Or just take off the electronic module and reverse the caliper?

[@Motorcarnut]

No you don’t.

[@cowboy112051]

Clockwise... But what happens if the plunger does not go back far enough to allow the caliper to go over the brakes? It need another 1/2" or more

[@Motorcarnut]

Did you try compressing it while turning it in?

[@cowboy112051]

@@Motorcarnut I since have compressed it, without the motor attached...and it seems to work, but the "Parking Brake Malfunction" is on. looking on youtube, it appears that this can be reset. Soon to try it.

[@Motorcarnut]

Yes that should solve it.

[@campostimas]

I know about the tool. I seen it in the other video that is identical to this besides the tool.

[@Motorcarnut]

Ok

[@malibuman8941]

you probably should always clean and put new grease in the slider pins.

[@Motorcarnut]

Absolutely

[@peterhrd8310]

The sensor for the brake wear is on all BMWs, on the INNER brake pad !!!

[@Motorcarnut]

Correct

[@malibuman8941]

you were turning it clockwise... when looking from the star wrench.

[@Motorcarnut]

Counter clockwise is correct

[@zacharynix6421]

I know throughout you said things you have to have , and things that could be helpful……do you mind throwing down a list for the sake of my brain

[@Motorcarnut]

Just pause the video on the information you need. I can barely catch up to the comments

[@DashingandPrancing]

Clockwise or counter clockwise???? because your turning it too the right in the video that IS clockwise not counter clockwise

[@Motorcarnut]

Yes, clockwise

[@rayduchaine4803]

Over engineering....jeez

[@Motorcarnut]

Not really, better vehicles are better built and unfortunately more complicated
