Question Any special tools for Replacing brake pads on 2004 XJR

Hi, New rotors and brake pads kits just arrived in the post direct from Jaguar, now it time to fit them. Anyone know of any special tools i need to complete the job. I am most concerned about relieving brake caliper pressure without having to bleed brakes. Someone at work said that the calipers rotate when they come out and a special tool is needed

Welcome to the forum,

Delayed greeting - I've been searching from John O'Groats to Lands End for one of those $8 XJR's!

Mikey has given you a link to the XJR section. You'll get plenty of help and advice there.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User ID button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Graham
