Pretty sure BMW wants those lug bolts installed dry. Anti seize will affect the clamping force once torqued to spec. That being said, I always applied anti seize to the rotor retaining screw since those were notorious for seizing. Torque on those was never really critical - they’re just for retaining the rotor while the wheel is off.
Thanks LT! All you Powernation guys are great.
I like all these at home videos. I have gotten more projects done in the last 6 weeks than I have done in the last 2 years.
Thanks for the video, did you have any issues with the electric parking brake? Do you require to put it service mode or manually release it to access the calipers?
Glad to see these guys r still getting amazing content out there 👍
I'm begging you, please, do more imports. This was refreshing!
Hi! Thank you for your video. For the rear brakes, should the emergency electronic brakes are engaged or disengaged? Does it matter?
Awesome job LT!!!!
Love this Channel and love the content you put out thank you and good job
LT she snapped that WIP, good job stay well . If you run out of things to do come on over, need some help on my 1972 Skylark GS lol.
No brake lube? Torque specs on lug nuts and bolts are “dry torque” love the videos but be careful PN. I get its a nice short clip from home but people trust your info more than maybe just a “normal guy” at home in his shop. This kind of reminds me of all of the guys that say “I can do brakes, they are easy!” And completely overlook all of the important steps of doing a brake job. Are the sliders free? Is the piston boot torn? Is the bracket clean? Just my opinion.
I was just gonna say the same thing..glad you already covered it.
My question is why didn't he crack the bleeder and just bleed out some of the old brake fluid. Simple brake flush why you have the brakes off. Brake fluid does break down with heat and time. Also not to mention all the back pressure you just sent up to the ABS system, will it ruin it......depends who you ask.
@@todo991 you're more likely to break up bleeder valve doing that. And out of thousands of pushed back in virtually every make, never had an issue
@@todo991 should be okay to push the piston in. With the car off all passages in the ABS manifold should be open. It may differ on a car with a push button emergency/parking brake. Even vehicle with the "twist in" pistons I've never been presented with a problem. Just don't open the cap under the hood and you should be fine. The only time you should crack the bleeders is if you've added brake fluid to replace the small amount that "disappears" because of pad wear. If your master cylinder is full when your pads are freshly installed and pressurized then only flush as needed for driving style and weather conditions. More to keep condensation out over time.
What do you do with the e-brakes??
Well that's a first for me, never in my 31 yrs have I seen a wheel bolt. Just studs and lugnuts. Also, wear sensor? I'm all for German engineering but what's wrong with the simple squeal tab on the pad? Good to see y'all still Makin content.
Most European cars use wheel bolts.
Does that BMW recommend applying grease to the brake pad sliders, as well as between the piston and the pad, to prevent squeaks ?
I would
All manufacturers recommend that Hello...
When removing caliper brackett E18 bolts with a 12pt 14mm socket, use a large clamp to press the breaker bar and socket fast against the torx bolt, once it breaks loose (1/8 turn) remove clamp and remove bolt. Otherwise, you will damage the torx bolt when the socket backs away, and the socket spins on the bolt splines.
Hi Have an automatic exercise and I am unable to remove the rear desk any ideas please
Thanks for the video. Can anybody please tell me how can he take down the rotor so easily? As my f15 x5 will automatically turn on parking brake after you turn off the engine, and it prevents the rotor to move. Should be same with e70 with electric parking brake.
What about any handbrake adjustment as you just put a new disc/drum on ?
As i am a tech i love these videos because i get to do it all over again when the pads stick in the bracket and the slide pins dont slide anymore. Come on put some lube on the parts. if your going to show how to videos do it properly,
That brake rotor was MINT too...pointless to replace an OEM part with aftermarket if you dont need to
Where are your cordless power tools, brother? Makes jobs like those go much quicker? God bless and stay well.
Nice! Cheaper than BMW service dept too
should of use an old brake pad in the caliber with the c clamp to make sure you dont cause damage to the pistion and get an even push on the piston as it goes back. i would of use a big flat head before i took the caliber off tho as u were replacing the rotors also.
Yeah intersect packages lol 🤣 ohhhh I know that .
I had a hand in building the rear axle on that if it's an 09.
Lt finally done his part Who's next?

This answer is more than anything for those who have the same doubt; yes, you need to put the brakes in workshop mode to be able to work them without problem (if u have electronic parking brakes), with a scanner for bmw you can do it easily without the need or those famous applications. For mechanic and electromechanic just leave the parking brake loose to be able to take the rotor out and don't rip-off everything together like me. I had the same question for a long time and no one was willing to answer it. Good luck.
What's this?? A vehicle made AFTER 1973?! I'm shocked!!
From my BMW experience I'm surprised there wasn't some kind of code you had to enter in the cars' computer or it wouldn't start . And of course the Dealership would charge $75 for it
Clearly you don't have a lot of experience
No doubt there's a light on the dash now.
@@batman9592 guess Jared Z didn't get the irony or hadn't replaced a battery or a power window motor
this man gotta be high
No anti seize for me I've tried that in the past and even after torquing the nuts they came lose.
Use FCP Euro the next time you do the brake job
Would be awesome if they did an old rover or g wagen and made it a Dakar truck

dude why does it look like you have so much space between the lower caliper guide pin and the suspension? I cant even get my socket wrench in there
Customer purchased one for 5k, brought her into the shop for a road worthy...ended up having to do literally every bush front and rear plus brakes and tyres on all 4. Ended up costing him close to 6k. Not a happy man.
Seems to be it seems to be held on or stuck on I really don’t know and I have removed the small talk about
Why do German cars use wheel bolts instead of studs/nuts? Here in the States, only farm equipment use wheel bolts; the wheels can be a pain to install without an alignment bolt/pin. Also, what kind of anti-seize do you use? High-Temp Copper? Ultra High-Temp Nickel? Or basic Aluminum? Did you know that the aluminum anti-seize can react with the steel in the fasteners, causing galvanic corrosion (i.e., they weld/fuse together). It actually makes it MORE difficult to service later; it's actually easier to not put any anti-seize on, if you're using the basic aluminum stuff. I personally use copper for most everything; it's more stable, it WILL come apart easier in the future, and it handles much higher temperatures. It's also not all that much more, because a little anti-seize goes a long way. It's definitely worth it to use the more expensive copper than the aluminum anti-seize. Save the aluminum anti-seize for aluminum fasteners holding aluminum parts.
Bmws wheels are hub centric where as vehicles that use lug nuts are lug centric goes to how the wheel is centered on hub when its mounted
I'm not sure about the anti-seize on the threads. That would change the torque requirements for the lug bolts. IE, they will be easier to turn, so 90 ft-lbs of torque would cause more than the specified clamping force and bolt stretch. See this article from Tire Rack. Scroll down to near the bottom. www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=99&
Russ LaValle I agree. If I’m not mistaken...it’s generally not recommended that anything grease, oil or anti-seize be applied on wheel stud threads. Not only might it effect the torque spec. More importantly, i think that lubed threads may tend to loosen
Don't have the proper socket don't worry just jam on a 12-point it's close enough..
You should not support car with a jack, use axle stand and put the wheel under the sill just in case
wow first keep it up
Why didn't you turn your rotors instead of replacing?
@@kurtdold3706 they will end up warping. Most rotors don't have enough metal to turn them.

Just be yourself LT. Don't act... behave!

Ebrake shoes? Not even adjusted?
LT, talk to a camera as if you are talking to your best friend. Be yourself buddy. Relax... Deep down, you are a wonderful guy! Don't let that get in the way. Before a take... take a deep breath, and just be yourself. Do not worry about ruining a take or forgetting a line. Just be... yourself.
I've had two BMWs. Nice but expensive parts and they don't last
My e39 540i 6 speed is pretty reliable.
I have a non Vanos version with an M5 LSD. I use it for drifting.
I have yet to run into a BMW part that is any more expensive than an equivalent domestic vehicle.
Give that bmw another 10k miles and watch everything fall apart. I learned my lesson with bmw
and nothing about pins
What happened to all the fancy matco tools?.....it looks like you are using craftsman or something else...
LT have you been tested you don't look like you are feeling well. Take care of yourself
Yet another X5 E70 brake pads / Rotors replacement video with no mention of the electronic parking brake. 👎🏻
*_HOW TO FIX GERMAN CAR IN ONE SIMPLE STEP..._* *_1.) THROW IT IN THE TRASH_*
All good but don’t put anti seize on the lug bolts
you lack details , u did video like stir fry
Oh boy, doing a brake job on a soccer mom urban assault vehicle. yawn.
If u need a real brake video, check out South Main Auto on youtube.
Old parts would have been good for another 50,000 miles.
And you know that how?
@@bmstylee Decades of experience.
Stop talking, start showing
wish they would stop with the specialty tool crap
E-torx are nothing exotic and are more common than you think. I don't mind them at all, just gives me an excuse to buy more tools.
