It’s not hard at all. Start by loosening the bolts that hold the pads in, (pretty sure it’s a 5mm allen) just crack the bolts...don’t take them out. Then take off the caliper by removing both bolts with a 12mm socket. Then remove the bolts (that you cracked before) holding the pads in. The pads will have thin pieces of metal behind them (that are removable), if your new pads do not come with them use the old ones. Once the pads are out, open your reservoir and push the piston in with your hands. You should be able to do it by hand but if you’re having trouble you can use a c-clamp. Then put the new pads in and bolt them into place using the 5mm allen. If the new pads do not want to go onto the rotor, gently put a flathead screw driver in between them and spread them apart. Once the calipers fit back on, bolt them into place and tighten all the bolts. Then do the other side. Once both sides are done pump them up and you should be good to go.noran01 said:I think it has become time for me to replace my front pads on the '02 F4i. I was wondering if anyone has a howto for what to do or i guess what to look out for. I have stands (front and rears). thanks!
