1986 Jaguar XJ6 - Dropping The Rear Suspension

Rear caliper seized so I needed to replace the rear brakes.
While it is possible to do it with the IRS in place I wanted to take this on as a learning experience and to make replacing the rear brakes easier.
I hope this helped you if you own one of these vehicles!
Thank you for watching!

Great video 👏 just started this job on my 76 XJ-S and this has been very helpful, thanks.

Glad it helped! Thank you sir!

Thanks for this video. I have a Rover P6 which has a similar rear brake set up. You've given me the confidence to try to work on my rear brakes.

[@ThePeruvianTank]

I’m glad to have helped you see the confidence you already had!

Thanks for the video! That was very to the point and everything included was very useful! I’ll be using this in a few months when I drop mine!

Thank you, glad it could help!

Great video, thank you, very informative. The Kent alloys look so cool on a XJ6

[@ThePeruvianTank]

Thank you, agreed. While I love the look of the wire wheels these also look great on these cars

Thanks for posting this. I have seized rear calipers on my XJS. The rotors look rough, from being parked a long time. I guess I don't have an excuse now.

[@ThePeruvianTank]

I have no doubt you can do it!

Very helpful video.I'm rebuilding my IRS but can't work out where the spring on the upper shock bolt attaches to.Can you help?

[@ThePeruvianTank]

I’m not sure, if you’re on Facebook join the XJ6 group and ask there! There’s guys in there that have had these for decades that could help!

[@user-ky9qu1dc8m]

Didn't have rotors turned?

[@ThePeruvianTank]

Rotors were fine, one caliper had seized so I wanted to replace them all. I’ll be dropping it once my shop is done being built and service it again in the future
