Advice on Rear Brake Install

[uscharalph]

We're installing new rear rotors, pads and sensor on Saturday morning. I got the Bremo rotors delivered today and the Raybestor QS's should be here tommorrow. My shopping list now consists of bearing grease (To repack the bearings), 2 cans of brake cleaner, a bottle of "DOT 4" brake fluid and anti squeal compund.

Any advice or suggestions?

[BigKriss]

what about some synthetic grease for the caliper bolt guides?

[Traian]

Mmm, anti-seize compound for the rotor set screw?

[Jr ///M5]

Yes, here's a suggestion. Use a impact driver to loosen the rotor locator bolt. They are fairly cheap and will loosen that bolt with one blow.

HUH?

Other cars I've had required this. I'm assuming, by your reply Jeff, that isn't the case on my BMW.

you wont be taking the bearing apart or opening it if youre just doing the brakes

Rear brakes on an E34 are a snap. Two slides for the caliper, two bolts to remove the pad carrier, an allen bolt for the rotor, and replace it all, lubing up all the contact points. I LOVE working on BMW brakes; so simple. Replacing rotors is VERY easy. Bearings are sealed units, and don't get serviced at brake jobs.

Maybe next time I can do them myself, but I was in a time jamb and couldn't. One of my local indies did the rear rotors and pads for $90.00 this morning.
