How Easy/Hard Is Brake Pad Replacement
Hi,
I am new to Jaguars and my 2002 XJ8 needs new brake pads. I've changed them on various other later model cars and most seem to be straightforward. I've never done a brake job on a Jaguar, though. Does anyone have a link to a step-by step process? I have a repair manual on the way, but I needed to do this soon. Thanks!

RE: How Easy/Hard Is Brake Pad Replacement
If you've done brakes on cars, this one is no different. No jaguar specific tool is needed.
The only pain in the butt part is a clip on the outside of the caliper. Each end goes in a hole in the caliper. When you see it you will know what i am talking about. Use a screw driver to remove it. The hard part is putting back, specially the first time you do it.
