k1600 brakepad replacment

Can anyone tell me if I need the 34 1 531 and 34 1 535 brake tools to replace my front pads? And if so where can I buy them?

You don't need any special tools unless you include Torx and hex head. Those tools are just used to push the pistons back. I have changed pads on my bike and a friend's without them with no problems, Just do one side at a time and push back the pistons like you would with any caliper. Make sure the brake fluid reservoir is not too full, else it will overflow when you push the pistons back.

 

Remember to pump the brakes and check fluid level before riding.

Open the bleeder screws first, prior to retracting the pistons. Won't push fluid back into the reservoir.

Thanks for the info.
