replacement rear brake expansion reservoir

[RJM123]

Hi Guys, anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement rear brake expansion tank - gone the way of most - the plastic bracket has gone brittle and started to crack - need to replace it.

2015 adventurer,

cheers

what do you want? OEM replacement or aftermarket?

Have you tried a BMW dealer/Motorworks/James Sherlock/eBay for options?

It must be because I have the workshop manual and its not even in there how to change it.

So I've recd the replacement rear brake fluid reservoir. Is it an easy replacement or something best left to experts? Any links or videos of doing this appreciated.

You are overthinking this

Its going to be easy....its a reservoir connected to a rubber pipe by compression clips, held to the frame by a single bolt.

Personally I would tie down the pedal (You probably don't even need to do this)

Remove the old res, stick on the new one, fill it, leave it for 5 mins, top up if needs, release pedal, press a couple of times, top up if needs, crack on

Clamp the flexi hose , drain the res, and remove.

Fit the new unit, fill, and then remove the hose clamp, unlikely to get an air bubble, but if it does, it should go straight into the res
