[Request] Inboard rear brake replacement guide
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I've got a 1967 Jag 420 with inboard rear brakes, and the rotors/pads might actually still be original. I'm down to metal in the rear and its time to take it all apart. I've done a bunch of googling and I cannot find any guides/manuals on doing the rear brakes online.
I want to do the job with a mechanic friend because I was quoted 10 hrs of labor by 2 different shops.
FYI xk's unlimited has great prices on the parts.
2 rotors $55, 4 pads $35, caliper seal kit $25

sorry to bump an old thread but I think this belongs with my rear end question
Symptom:
I heard a cyclical chirping out of the rear end. It would rise in frequency the faster I drove so I assumed the rear pads were finally giving way
I jacked up the rear end and slowly rotated the tires till I could hear grinding. When I looked at the pads I saw that a small metal flap had peeled away from these bell shaped boots. I bent the flap back in with pliers and the chirp/scrape has gone away
question: what does these doohickeys do? and should I worry about the fact that they have holes worn through them...
P.s. this Jag '67 420 has a chevy engine. I assume the boot is scraping along the original exhaust pipes

^^^They are simply dust covers to protect the Unijoints. Often as not they have disappeared over the years so not all cars have them.
Looks like your exhaust pipe needs to be bent up a little more so it doesn't rub on the dust covers. The fust covers need to cover over the UJ as much as possible.
