What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[Vas]

I did it another way. Didn't even have to remove the wheels

Enjoyed 200 miles of Indiana back roads.

How did you do it? From my understanding that's the only proper way to adjust the e-brake

[Johal E32]

You can pull the ebrake boot and adjust from there

To do it properly you should do it from both the adjustment knob and the handbrake nuts.

Taking the rear calipers and rotors off is way easier. I don't know how people do it without; getting at the adjustment wheel through a tiny little lug hole proved nearly impossible for me.

Loosen the nuts at the handbrake (take off/loosen the boot and pull the handbrake up a little to get at the nuts. Take rear wheels, calipers, and rotors off. Tighten the adjustment wheel by turning the cogs towards the FRONT of the car (for left side, turn the cogs DOWN and for right side, turn the cogs UP). Tighten them a few clicks at a time until you have a harder time putting the rotor on, then loosen until the rotor slides right on with minimal effort. I backed mine off by loosening about 5 turns once the rotor slid on easily. Once it's there, tighten the nuts on the handbrake. I tightened the nuts until the car was held by the parking brake after 4-5 clicks and the lever was firm by the 3-4th click.

I was able to get to it through the lug hole. It was not easy but possible.

^ Yep that's what I do. I just remove one lug nut without taking the wheel off. I'm done adjusting quickly once I figure out which way to get at that crazy cog back there. LOL

Installed new lenses I got from Khoalty. Install was simple. In my eyes, it is a whole new car!!!

Did you bother with the seals?/ I'm thinking they are fine.

Yeah I changed the seals also
