ilja j Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi there, Sorry if this was asked , i tried looking through posts but could find anything. Im planning on changing my brake pads very soon, but ive come to understanding that i might have difficulty changing them all due to electronic hand brake. Ive got BMW 5 series F10 Lci , is there anything special i need to do to turn off the e brake for the time i do the change or it shouldnt be affected? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve84N Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Either buy Bimmerlink for around £30 which allows you to wind back the motor, or unbolt the motor from the caliper and wind it back manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah damn it , i confused bimmerlink with bimmercode which i got lol, do you know if bimmercode allows to do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve84N Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 You need Bimmerlink, Bimmercode is different stuff. Wind the motor off before you unbolt anything and remember to chock the car. Still cheaper than paying someone else and Bimmerlink does other things like new battery registration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
