Tools for rear brake replacement
I went ahead and got these tools since new rear pads will eventually be needed. The 3-prong adapter does not seem to be included in any non-BMW kits. Both are 3/8 drive.
The 3 prong was on sale on amazon for $12. The wind back tool was $15 on amazon. It's more heavy duty than most others online. I have not used these but certain they will work. Also need bimmerlink or a better one like Burger Motorsports. Last edited by Bking60; 01-20-2023 at 08:13 PM.. |

Electric parking brake- It does not work that way anymore. Remove the electric motor off the caliper and spin it back manually with a bit or 'service mode' it.

Bking60,
Please keep us posted on how your rear pad change goes. Steps would be appreciated, if possible. So many different stories out there, I wish someone would come up with a 'correct' procedure for the rear. In case you are not tracking, from what I have read you must DISENGAGE (turn off) the e-brake before starting the job. Good luck! |

Here is a thread on this topic that explains how to retract the rear e-brake piston without throwing codes, you can read the entire thread but post 92 is the procedure this person used.

Has anyone actually done the rear m sport brake pads and can advise what tool is needed to wind back the caliper? Besides bimmerlink, obviously we have to enter parking brake service mode. But the caliper piston also has to be retracted to make room for the new pads.
