Your BMW E60 is a wonderful car, but like any other machine it can sometimes need some maintenance and repair. One of the more common problems with BMWs is their brake systems.
What is a brake flush and why is it necessary?
When you brake your car, the brake pads must generate a lot of heat in order to stop the car. If the brakes are not flushed properly, this heat can build up and cause the pads to wear out faster.
Brake flush is a procedure that helps to clean the brake lines and pads. By flushing the brakes, you ensure that all the dirt, dust, and debris that accumulates on the brake lines is removed. This procedure also helps to prevent corrosion from happening on the brake pads.
How to perform a brake flush on an EBMW
In order to brake flush an EBMW, you will need the following supplies:
-Hoses
-Bleeder screws
-brake fluid
-brake cleaner
1. Park the car in a safe place and turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the front wheel.
4. Remove the brake caliper.
5. Remove the brake pad(s).
6. Clean all of the parts of the brake caliper with brake cleaner and hose.
7. Bleed the brakes by opening the bleeder screw on each side of the caliper and letting fluid flow out of it until there is no more fluid coming out (you may need to do this several times). Replace the brake caliper, brake pad, and wheel assembly. reconnecting the negative battery cable as you go along.
What to do if the brake flush fails
If the brake flush fails, you will need to stop the car and fix the problem. There are a few things that you can do if the flush fails:
1. Brake fluid can leak from the calipers. If this happens, you will need to replace the calipers.
2. The brake lines may be kinked or clogged. If this is the case, you will need to replace the entire line.
3. The braking system may be incorrectly installed. In this case, you will need to have a professional technician install the system correctly.
