Remove the caliper and caliper bracket (2 15mm bolts). The rotors might have some metal clips on the wheel lug studs, remove them with a pair of dikes. If the rotors don't come off easy after you remove the clips, hit it with a hammer. Pretty easy.

 

Ever done brakes before on, like a car, that like had brakes?

 

J/K

 

Had to be aquiller to post something sarcastic about it![8D] Truth is, the Jag is as basic as they come. If you've worked on a Honda, you've worked on a jag!

 

Yeah, no magic stuff on the jag....plain and simple brake job. my biggest thing is if you are ging to do the brake, change the fluid while your at it!

 

ive never changed the fluid before, anyone have a previous write up on it, or is will to expain how its done

 

I did one a while ago, but i'll give you my short unadulterated version.

I call it the turkey gravity bleeding system: (if you're doing it yourself)

First, I've heard stories that you can run the break fluid back up through the reservoir when you compress the calipers piston.
I don't recommend this and i have never done it since you will be forcing the fluid through the seals that let fluid only go one way...

Second, my method is to suck the fluid out through the reservoir using some sort of turkey baster/syringe..or a hand held vacuum pump
Once you suck it all out, top it off and your good to go....so they say, but that leaves the old fluid still in the lines. If you do it that way, at least open the bleeder valve for a minute or two to let the old stuff out....via gravity. Start with the right rear and work your way around to the front. Open one bleeder valve at a time. Make sure you keep topping off the reservoir and don't let it go dry.

Approx time 20-30 minutes. Use Dot 4 brake fluid.

 

Thanx Racer, ill give it a try next weekend, hope its as simple as it sounds

 

Ya, easy stuff that will save you time and mney later on...
