How to replace the brake pads on the front of a BMW 2002?

Jack up the front of the car and remove the road wheels, then extract the two retaining pins and the anti-rattle spring. Inspect the thickness of the disc pad friction material; if it has worn to 0.08 in (2.0 mm) or less, renew the pads on both front brakes as an axle set. Withdraw the pads by gripping their ends with pliers and brush any dust from the ends of the pistons and the pad recess. Use a syphoning device, such as a poultry baster, to withdraw some fluid from the brake fluid reservoir to accommodate additional fluid displaced when the caliper pistons are depressed. Depress the caliper pistons into their cylinders with a flat piece of wood or metal to accept the new thicker disc pads, ensuring the pistons remain square and are depressed until they reach their stops, while monitoring the reservoir fluid level to prevent overflow. Install the new pads, the spring, and the pins, then apply the foot brake hard several times before topping up the fluid reservoir. Finally, refit the road wheels and lower the car to the ground.

BMW 2002 Brake Pads

The Brake Pads of BMW 2002s create energy that converts the motion of the car and ultimately transfers it as heat so that the wheels stop safely. The Brake Pads have a strong steel backing plate that is bonded to a special lining. These Brake Pads press against the rotor when the caliper clamps down. Friction is created that converts kinetic energy into thermal energy. Over decades of BMW 2002 manufacture, on the original 2002 models and later editions, the basic layout stayed the same. This was two Brake Pads per rotor. Yet, material choices evolved. They changed from early applications of non-metallic mixes toward new semi-metallic and modern ceramic formulas. These aimed for good gripping power, fade resistance, low noise, and long service life. No matter the compound, the linings on these Brake Pads will wear down over time, so the manufacturers set a minimum thickness and fit wear sensors or audible indicators to warn drivers beforehand what their performance will drop. Having one's brakes routinely revised every few years or roughly 50,000 miles keeps stopping distances short and rotors healthy. Additionally, replacing worn 2002 Brake Pads as scheduled is essential to keep the BMW brakes performing dependably under everyday cruising or enthusiastic drives.
