After searching for a while, there didn't seem to be instructions posted yet for brake pad replacement on a 2010-2013 XK. I'm kind of new to the Jaguar forum does anyone know of some place in the forum or elsewhere that can help me with changing the pads. After removing the wheels, the brakes look fairly simple, though different from pre-2010 cars.
The car only has 5K miles on it, but the mount of brake dust on the factory brakes is unbelievable, like something out of a cartoon or comic book and nearly a daily cleaning chore. Since I'm planning on keeping the car for many years to come, I'd like to go ahead and change them out now for some no dust ceramic pads. Thanks....

Actually, I just found the information here on the XF forum.......

The XKR brake assembly and pads look to be the same as the XF's.

I felt the same way about the brake dust on my 2010 XK when I purchased it 6 months ago. It too had 5,000 miles and I immediately replaced the OEMs with ceramics. Centric Posi Quiets in front and Akebono Euros in rear. Couldn't be happier. The only way I can tell if there is dust is when I run my finger on the rim. Stops well without the creaking noise.
