Hi guys,

I'll be changing the stock pads to RS29s soon next week, just wondering if anyone has a list of tools and/or a procedure for changing pads? I've not changed pads myself before and have only read up tutorials and videos for doing this, just wondering if anyone has any pointers specific to the M2. I heard depressing the pistons may need to be done a particular way not to stuff up the ABS, is this true?

Cheers and thanks

Small ball peen hammer (any hammer will do), thin punch to knock out the 2 pins on each caliper, loosen cap on brake fluid tank, push pistons and pads all the way back with your fingers, (I have the tool for this but is not needed), pull out pads and mark location of pads for return install. Install track pads, re-insert pins. Most importantly, pump brakes, and top of brake fluid level!!!!
