Rubber dust boots look good too - I don't even think it needs changing (but may still do it while I'm at it)

What is new to me is how simple and reliable construction is: 2 pins, 1 clip and that's it - you can take out pads even without removing caliper on the car. Brilliant design by Brembo (I guess all bbk are like that lol)

Caliper has 2 bleeding valves covered by rubber caps. I checked them and they look like new! Interesting that pads are quite big and pretty much 80% left - tempting to just reuse everything

Also took off brake line from caliper - came off easily, just needed 9/16 wrench (isn't German cars in metric guys? I'm new to this)

Brembo is Italian. And did you try a metric first or just find a 9/16 worked. Most the time you can find two similar sizes but run the risk of stripping if it's a seized bolt or nut.
