Replacing Discs and Pads

Are there any guides out there to replacing the discs and pads on the L633 please?

Thank you

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
