When you need repair info (and other technical data) go here:

There's no software to retract the pistons as you can see. Still use a mechanical tool.

It's not really all that complex. Just a matter of following the instructions.

Thanks for posting this info.


I have replaced pads on every BMW I have owned and the G05 is the only one I have had issues with. I tried to do my rear pads and I could not get the rear piston to retract at all. I measured my OEM pads and compared them to the new PowerStop pads the new pads were .080" thicker. The rear caliper simply would not slide back on with the new pads.

I will have to get the rear caliper piston tool and try it again.
