Hey my R3 brothers,

How hard or easy is it to change my own front and rear brake pads on 2012 Roadster?
Thanks in advance.

On a scale 1 to 10 I’ll give it a 1! Remember to change your brake fluid if over two years old!

Yeah, just use a torque wrench and loctite (blue) on the caliper bolts on the front. That's the most technical part, the rest is self-explanatory when you have it in your hand.

If it's just pads, the unofficial record (that i just made up) is about 7 mins for ALL pads...the real show-offs don't even need pliers
