BMW Repair/Tools needed for Brake Job 1994 740iL

Advertisement


Question
I have been volunteered to fix a friend's brakes on a BMW 740iL 1994. The rotors, pads and sensors.
I will be an hour or more away from home and my tools, so I want to be sure I bring ANY and all tools needed for the job. I want to be prepared for anything, and I am pretty sure I have the tools I will need. Just not sure what they will be without getting in there first.
Would you be able to give me a list based on the information I have provided? It would be very appreciated?
Thanks,
Bryan  

Answer
Well I will try and tell you waht you need.A jack to lift the car,7mm allen for caliper pins,17/19 mm for the caliper bolts,5mm for rotor bolt(or a drill 1/4" to drill out the bolt if it rounds up when removing),hammer to knock off rotor,c clamp to push back the piston in the caliper,6/7mm wrench in case you need to remove the bleeder screw.I think this is it good luck !~!
