Hi there. I'm about to attempt to change the rear pads and discs on my '90 535i sport, with standard dealer parts.

I'm not looking forward to the job (have to do it MOT is coming up!) as i've read the haynes manual so many times and searched this forum for so long, and i still don't feel confident in knowing entirely what to do. I also read Bruno's piece which helped a little, but i'm worried about the brake fluid. Is it best just to remove some from the resevoir and re-fill it afterwards? If so how much?

I know its a big ask but if anyone could outline the procedure for me from their experience i would be MOST grateful. I've done a lot of other repairs on the car and maintenance work and my confidence is definitely growing, but the brakes are a big thing for me - if i do it wrong someone could get hurt (not just my wallet!).

I appreciate all advice, thanks, John.
