Rear Rotor Replacement

[Jkhussey280i]

My 280i is long overdue for new rear rotors. Can anyone provide me with the least invasive method for removing the rotors? I have already removed the calipers but have yet to visualize the best way to extract the rotors. Any help is apprecited!

You'll have to drop the driveshafts off it. Make sure you note the number of shims as this sets the camber of the wheel. This site has a load of good photos on it.

Thanks for that information Tasmin200! Which suspension bolts need to be removed in order to lower the diff? I just don't want to disassemble any more than absolutely neccessary. Thanks!

You don't need to drop the diff, just unbolt the halfshafts/driveshafts from the diff.

Ahhhh. Thanks for the clarification!

You may already know, but you do need to lockwire the caliper bolts when re-fitting. Quite tricky, but best not to omit it.
