I’ve done them on the last one
What dos you want to know Other than the torque the rear has a brake release for the park brake but there’s nothing special Take the wheels off both sides to turn the front for access Mike |

Mine was pretty straightforward, basically the same as any modern floating caliper vehicle. If you don’t have a diagnostic tool you’ll need to use the fiddly sequence to wind the parking brake motors off on the rear.
You’ll need new bolts for the caliper carriers too, and replacement disc retaining screws are also a wise investment. |

There’s a video on PowerfulUK on YouTube where they upgrade the calipers.
Looks pretty straightforward |

Yes i didnt get the disc retaining and then quickly went to get them There is a inappropriate term for how tight the caliper bolts were on mine - my heavy duty impact worked incredibly hard to get them off with all its fancy settings Mike |

I have seen the Powerful UK video on how to release the parking brake.
What is the sequence to un release it? Also any torque numbers? Thanks |
