Which I guess is the brake pad sensor light popped on the other night in my 951, so it's brake pad time.

Stopped by the dealer today for the parts, and got the Textar pads, sensors, silencers, and sensor wire clips.

Anything to look for on these M030 front calipers that's different from those on my S2? I did the pads, sensors and silencers on the S2 a while back, but these are a bit bigger.

What kind of caliper spanning tool should I use? Those channel locks end up scratching the calipers no matter how much tape I wrap the jaws with.

Thanks!

Cardboard between the jaws and calipers seems to help. You can also grind off the serrations on the jaws to make a smooth surface.

Cracking the bleed screw also helps relieve the pressure and the pistons retract more easily.

The M030 and normal S2 calipers are the same design so no differences in how you change the pads.

I wrap a rag around the calipers a few times, but mine are already beat to hell.
