Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

Nice catch! Had that let go on you those diffs aren’t cheap... believe me I know...

I was just surprised myself, pulled the back brakes apart and found a broken lower caliper bolt on the passenger side! Thankfully just the head had broken off somehow and the caliper stayed in place and amazingly I was able to grab the bolt with vice grips and remove it “easily” enough.

I got the driver side apart and swung over to the passenger side and had a WTF moment... I looked down in there and thought no bolt - no way. Pulled the top bolt and went to swing the caliper out of the way and it was stuck - thank goodness it was just the head or that would have been a huge mess!

I painted the calipers blue while I was in there as well [emoji16]. Pretty happy with them but I do wish it was just a bit lighter - but I’m definitely not redoing them, I totally happy (enough).

Trust me! I am right there with you! I was back and forth on putting them on and then just impulsively did it during a bored moment. They can be easily removed so no big deal. For now I'm a fan...

So I’ve been struggling changing the bulbs in these two, I can’t find a way to open them without seemingly breaking them. Any tips? Has anyone done this?

Doesn't the assembly pop out with access to the bulbs from the inside?

Yes. For the front one there are 2 metal clips on the housing. If you just keep yanking they will bend. Can be bent back to shape after. Or you can use a trim tool and release them before pulling. That works best. They are located in the button side.
