2004 Mini Rotor Replacement

Hello Mini Fans!

I own a 2004 Mini that I will be changing the brakes on soon. (the left rear started to grind grind!)
I will have to replace the rotors on this change.
I am a DIY guy and want to know of any tips that you can share.
Thanks!
Erik

Should be a straight forward swap. Only real issue is if the torx bolt is stuck. Then you just need to let it soak with some penetrating oil and try an impact wrench on it.

It's pretty simple, just make sure you get some quality rotors, we see problems from cheap autozone/napa rotors all the time.
