Title: Links for fitting brakes all round?
Post by: JimsMowing on July 15, 2007, 12:55:57

Can anyone point me to some links giving diagrams for fitting new brakes all round on a disco?

I have tried the search button but it pulls up hundreds of non related topics i cant be bothered to trawl through!

Thanks

When you say new brakes, do you just mean the pads, pads & discs,  pads, discs & calipers or the hydrolic system like the master cylinder?

A Haynes manual would be a good investment if you're looking to do your own repairs.  :wink:

Sorry just pads and discs front and rear. Is it essential to get one of those fitting kits with new gaskets and stuff?

i would get new Half shaft end cap Gaskets as they normally split coming off or you can put silicone sealant / Mastik on them instead

As you need to remove the hub to change the disc then a new rear hub seal is also advisable, and re-grease the wheel bearings while you've got it apart.  :wink:
