great videos. dealership wanted $1200 to do a front brake job, with this video we did it for the cost of pads and rotors :)

[@ThabaniMoyo-q7u]

🎉 great step by step video. I wish everyone could be so diligent like this guy😊

[@alexfixty]

Thanks 🙏

[@marchphoto]

Ok so just followed these steps exactly on my 2013 RR Sport HSE Lux and went without any issues. Thanks so much Aleks!! You saved me a lot of money. When I put my sensor back on (the old sensor) it fit kind of loosely. I was expecting it to be snug in there like when I took it off. Ok, tomorrow will be the rear brakes and rotors so I’ll comment on that video afterwards. Thanks again!!

[@brianxavier777]

Thanks!

[@ironhorsehero1988]

I’m going to change the discs on my daughter’s Range Rover Velar, I’m guessing the procedure will be very similar to the Range Rover you’ve just done, very helpful, thank you.

[@alexfixty]

Good luck!

[@alexkatler]

Let me know how it goes if you can. I'm about to do front and back pads/rotors on my 2019 velar R dynamic Hse Good luck

[@ironhorsehero1988]

@@alexkatler They didn’t require changing, the discs had some rust around the edges, I cleaned them with a drill and abrasive flap wheel and they were good enough to pass MOT. I couldn’t find a way of unlocking the hand brake as the Velar’s brake is fully automated ( no lever/switch) so I think some sort of OBD tool would be required to enable changing them.

[@jameslynch8029]

I Wish all Videos were like this,Superb step by step, missing out nothing on instalation, I did my front Brakes pads no problem,look forward to any other videos you make,Well Done You 🙂

Thank you Alex, just finished the rear brakes after watching your video several times. Now going to tackle the front brakes after watching this video. Thank you again.

[@r1crs2009]

Great video thank you is the sensor necessary to change if it’s ok

[@alexfixty]

Nope

That video was awesome, step 1 to the end complete. I'm ready to tackle my brake job.

Good luck 🤙

[@AnNajwa-y8v]

Great job manual. That torque for a bolt holding the disc is a bit larger than what the average set would have, but 6 mm hex key did the job. Took 12 min from driving vehicle into garage to exiting.

[@danymcqueen]

Hello, on a 2020 Range Rover HSE is the same procedure?

[@filiepwauters]

A great Thank you for this clear explanation. I replaced both front and rear brake pads with your help and this would have costed in Belgium 2 x 400 € = 800 €. I ordered them from Autodoc and costed me with new sensors 100 € for 4 wheels. Took me 1 hour per axis . Thanks

[@alexfixty]

I’m glad to help

[@jimmysoto9617]

Can you put link for oem rotors pls. Great vid, thanks!

[@alexfixty]

[@TheMzx124]

Fantastic. Doing this next week - my rotors warped and the braking causes steering wheel shudder. Great video...

[@TheMzx124]

Done. It was indeed the warped rotors issue. Steering wheel vibrations completely gone, braking smooth even at 170km/h, when before the rotor changes steering wheel was shaking so bad that it made me nervous - only at light braking, though. Now it's all fixed. Thanks again for the great video...

[@robbieguerrero3351]

THANK YOU SIR: ALWAYS A GREAT WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!

[@culpyy]

Hi Alex. Thx for the video. I couldn't get my car into maintenance mode. I started the engine and released the e brake manually. I could not compress the brake piston back. Looks like I need to replace the caliper now. It's seized. For the other rear, don't attempt to disassemble until in maintenance mode? Thanks for the time.

[@alexfixty]

Hi! Not sure what you did, there is a step by step explanation on how to do the rear brake pads. If you are not sure what you have done, I better recommend to contact a specialist who can help you with that. Sorry to hear that!

[@phphlash]

Nice. You should add torque specs for wheel bolts - 103 ft-lbs

[@highendtrends3508]

Great. Videos very informative and helpful.

[@sistercalhoun4444]

Does the Brake mode procedure work for a 2017 Range Rover Evoque HSE ?

[@grinellsmith]

So clear. My good friend who had a 2016 LR4 just passed away a few weeks ago and before he died he asked me to give it a once-over for his wife. Going to do the brake pads, front and rear, in a couple days. Anything special about the rear pads? Also, do I need to replace the sensors? (BTW, the dealer quoted her $2850 for new pads, rotors, and sensors..!)

[@alexfixty]

No way, so expensive. If the sensors are damaged and worn out by thin brake pad you have to replace them.

[@micahturner472]

Great help and superb camera quality 👌

[@blackvulcan100]

Do you need a new sensor every time you change the pads ?

[@alexfixty]

If it’s damaged you have to replace it

[@AdrianKurian]

Nice demonstration

[@jaspercurtis8439]

Hi mate, i have an autobiography 2022 do you think these are similar ?

Rear brake replacement. Do you have to replace rotors and sensors when you replace new pads. Great instructions!!!!

[@mvirdi2333]

Hi. Very nice 👍 is it any chance to make videos about brembo brake pad replace. Thanks 😊

[@princeg24]

Is the velar model similar to this?

[@henrychavezoficial]

Nice video! Helped me out a lot, one question though. How many brake sensors total? 2 or 4?

[@alexfixty]

As I remember just 2

[@adriansermeno3767]

Thanks for the video I have the exact same car and tried to do my brakes and could not find a video so just had to break down and get them done at the dealership. But I will attempt to change my oil thanks to you.. I appreciate your videos.

[@mwill3963]

Great video!

[@anxmatrix]

Thank you for the video. Can you advise what size C Clamp you used for caliper compression step?

[@anxmatrix]

If anyone was wondering about this around @3:28 once the two bolts are removed I took off the caliper first then used a 4 inch c clamp to push in the piston.

[@justdave5121]

Just make sure your reservoir is opened and take some fluid out when pushing the piston back. Only if your brake fluid is full you need to take some fluid out or it will overflow when doing this piston retract.

[@anxmatrix]

@@justdave5121 I saw this step left out from video but I have done brakes before and did ensure the brake fluid reservoir cap was open. Good info for others though.

[@larslee1089]

This was great thank you! 😊

[@Pagemarks]

Why put vehicle in access height? When jacking vehicle, shouldn’t it be in off road height?

[@alexfixty]

You are correct ✅

[@Mike-ug3ui]

Alex, we don't need to put the vehicle in service mode to replace front brakes pads?

[@alexfixty]

We don’t 👍

[@davidwynne3289]

Excellent advice and great safety! 👌

[@alexfixty]

✊🙌🤙

[@mvirdi2333]

Hi 👋 do we need to change brake sensor wire every time change brake pad or can use the same old. Thanks 😊

[@alexfixty]

Hi! If the sensor is good and there is no brake light on dashboard, no need to replace it

[@mvirdi2333]

Thanks 🙏

[@davidemiorelli]

Is it necessary to replace brake pads sensor when installing new brake pads and disc? Or i can keep the stock one?

[@dustinolson7859]

So if you do put new rotary’s and pads do you have to replace the sensor? Could you not just put the old one on?

[@alexfixty]

If it’s not damaged

[@Mike-ug3ui]

Best Videos!!!! the mechanics at dealership are useless!!!

[@FS-ip2le]

Great video! Is it possible to decide if I take the Brembo Disc 360mm or the 380mm or is there only ONE correct one? I think yours are the 360mm, right?

[@Biggest1ofthem]

Here are some more torque specs 13mm Bolts - 26 ft-lbs, Rotor torx 50 bolt - 12 ft-lbs and caliper bracket bolts - 208 ft-lbs

[@Makis0007]

Please, where can I find that information?

Hey Alex, do you know how to permanently disable Tire Pressure Monitoring and Stop Start on the L405 2017?

[@alexfixty]

Hi! Most likely using sdd and changing configuration file

[@innovationpropertyatlanta]

Do you have to replace the rotors every time you replace the brake pads? My rotors appear to be fine and dont vibrate but brake pad light came on.

[@user-ym9wb2mk5e]

Been a while since you posted, but you can also have your rotors “turned” at Oreilly s auto parts. I think they charge $20 per rotor. Drop them off in morning and haven back a few hours later. If the rotors are within spec, you have at least one “turn” you can do on a rotor, instead of buying new rotors . You DO want to turn or replace each pad replacement otherwise your pads get chewed up faster and possibly glaze (the rotors turn a bluish red tint from overheating) the rotors.
