Forgive me if this sounds naive, I'm asking on behalf of my husband. He has a series LR and has done most of the work on it himself. I'm wondering how difficult it would be for him to do the brakes on my 04 discovery. We have the rave manual downloaded. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks, Maggie

 

It is as easy as any other 4 wheel disc brake vehicle, in other words pretty simple.

 

Loads easier on a D2 than a D1. an impact with a #2 Phillips makes it easier, but soaking with penetrating fluid will do well...

 

If he can handle Series brakes, DII will be a cakewalk.

 

Disc brakes is disc brakes.

 

Thanks everyone! Now the hard part......asking him.

 

Maggie, how many miles on the truck, how do you know it needs brakes, has it had rotors before?
Don't just go to the local parts store for your parts.
Might want to have your husband send me your number, I'll be glad to call and walk him thru what to do.

 

That comment tells me you have not pulled the rotors on yours.....

 

Nope.
My truck came with brand new pads and rotors from the dealer already installed and with less than 5,000 miles on them.
And when it is time for new pads I will not need rotors, mine are not warped or grooved or rusted like the Titanic or anything.
However I do know how much more difficult it is to do DI rotors than DII rotors, but that is not the issue here.
Her question was about DII brakes not DI, so why you have to try and bring me down in this one is beyond me.
Maybe I should have been more clear for you, when replacing brake pads on a disc brake system it is all the same.
But replacing rotors is different for each vehicle.
Is that better?

 

Maybe he has man crush on you and is just being coy? I see my high school students act like this. The boys are always mean to the girls they like.
