New Front brakes

I ordered new caliper kits for the dual front disc brakes, these are dust covers, and seals, and new pads, Freedo brake pads from the BeemerShop to be exact

While I had the front wheel off I decided to inspect the front wheel bearings and relube using the proper grease.

I drained all the brake fluid, and got to work on the front end.

The brake caliper pistons and the inside were very clean, very little work, no scratches on the pistons, and the internal groove of each piston was remarkably clean.

From the Beemershop

"When BMW switched from the original non-metallic Jurid pad to the semi-metallic Textar pad, there was a noticeable improvement in braking power. Those pads are still available from BMW, but they are very expensive. Ferodo Platinum Series pads are constructed similar to the BMW Textar pad at a fraction of the cost. Fits all 74-80 models EXCEPT R65. The only semi-metallic aftermarket brake pads available for the /6/7 series. Provides longer life and better stopping power with a slight increase in rotor wear. Recommend new o-ring and clip which are not included, but we have them in stock."
