Once the calipers have
been removed, there is
a risk of the brake pads being
pressed together to the extent
that they cannot be slipped back
over the brake disc on reas-
sembly.
Do not operate the handbrake
lever when the brake calipers
have been removed.
Remove screws 1 of the brake
callipers on left and right.
Force the brake pads 1 slightly
apart by rotational movement
of the brake calliper 2 against
brake disc 3.
Mask off the parts of the wheel
rim that could be scratched in
the process of removing the
brake callipers.
Carefully pull the brake callipers
back and out until clear of the
brake discs.
Place the motorcycle on an
auxiliary stand; BMW Motorrad
recommends the BMW Motor-
rad rear-wheel stand. The rear-
wheel stand and its accessory
components are available from
your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer.
