how do I remove my front rotors?
I want to do a front brake job on my 95 325i and replace the discs. Is there an easy technique to removing the discs?

Well, didn't have time to wait since I was in the process. Figured it out easy enough.
After removing the calipers, there is a single bolt that holds the rotor to the hub. An allen wrench will do the trick. There is also a hub cap covering that deceptively seems to want to be removed. Don't bother. The rotors may be locked on pretty tight, so you may need to get friendly with a hammer or crowbar and give a few smacks before the rotor comes loose. After that, reassembly is a piece of cake. And if you have a buddy close by to help you bleed your breaks, you're in good shape. |

champ,
usually, you dont have to bleed the brakes when changing the brakes. All you have to do is compress the piston back into the caliper with a large C clamp.. |

yeah. I did compress the caliper pistion with a c-clamp, and the brakes still seemed pretty stiff - no air - but wanted to flush out the old fluid.
thanks |
