There are probably some very useful tips in there.   Jude Augusta (Jaugusta) New Member Username: Jaugusta Post Number: 9 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 - 01:14 pm:    Eugene - are you sure you got the right link?

If you choose the "Land Rover" link on top, it will take you to a list of technical articles. "Brake pad replacement" will be one of the links from there.

I found the hardest part was taking the tire off and putting it back on. If the rotors are in good shape, the pads are just held in place with a small rod with a spring and cotter pins (should replace these 4 small cotter pins that keep the rod and spring in place). Pads slip right in after pushing the caliper pistons back for room. Don't even need to remove the calipers. Pads are readily available at most auto part stores, inexpensive also.
