Jaguar XF Replacing Rear Brake Pads and Discs

[@UnknownUnrecognized]

12:00, can piston be just pushed in or it has to be screwed back in because of the electric handbrake operation?

[@bm7760]

Thank you. Seems straightforward enough.

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback.

Hi, i have a 2010 jaguar xf, and i would like to replace the rear discs it has an electronic handbake. Is it possible to disengage manually without the diagnostic tool computer, please.. your videos are very informative thanks in advance.

Thank you so much, very informative!

Hi Daniel, thank you for watching and for your feedback.

Thanks for your videos - it is really appreciated how clear and well filmed they are. Can I ask if you used a torque wrench to do the caliper bolts back up, or just used your experience for how tight they should be? Really struggling to find the right torque settings online but would appreciate your input on how important it is. Would love if you could do videos on preventative maintenance on common issues (EG Cleaning EGR etc) in future videos if at all possible. Cheers

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi Matt, thank you for watching and for your feedback. The torque settings are as follows, bolts to caliper support bracket 103Nm Jaguar recommend replacing the bolts ( probably because they come with threadlock applied but I just clean them and apply my own threadlock. The guide pins that secure the caliper are 28Nm. I will try and add some preventative maintenance videos in future. Thanks again for watching.

Thank you for taking the time to pass on this information and the informative video - much appreciated sir! Well done proper old school mechanic. Just get it done. Quick one. Did you jack up the car with your hydraulic jack on the rear differential case?

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. Yes I did,

[@poorboymechanic5280]

Thank you for your swift response. The reason I asked is because jaguar recommend you don't jack up on the case. This of course could just be Jag be over cautious. I have jacked up many different types of car on the rear diff and never had any problems with the diff post job. Did the diff run as it should do post job i.e. no abnormal noises ect? Personally I also prefer to jack on the rear diff as it is so much easier. Was just worried jaguar have a point with their diffs for some technical reason?? @@crystalclearmechanics

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, Yes Jaguar do have specified jacking points but i use the diff, if i want to take both wheels off the ground. I have a pad that fits between the jack cup and the diff but you should always assess where to put a jack. The diff is made of cast iron and is bolted into a cage ( 2 large bolts through the back and 1 bolt upwards at the front ) and I have never had a problem jacking on the diff but as I said you must assess where to jack. Just a point. I do not leave the weight of the car on the jack I lower it on to axle stands leaving the jack in place as a safety precaution.@@poorboymechanic5280

[@poorboymechanic5280]

Hi thank you for that, much appreciated. I am the same in regards to the leaving the jack on the diff with no load just as a back up. Belt and braces springs to mind. Thanks again for the video. Sterling work sir.@@crystalclearmechanics

[@johnpridmore6017]

I think Jaguar don't like the thought of a bottle jack being used ,which would be unsuitable ...obviously, but not to some people 😊​@@poorboymechanic5280

Good evening So the electric handbrake doesn’t work of the calliper, in other words no motor on the back of the calliper?

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. On that model the calliper does not have the motor attached.

[@soulfulshoes]

When the new pads are in place on the front discs do I pump the brake pedal before or after I replace the brake reservoir cap? Do I not need to bleed the calipers?

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. I always ( out of habit ) pump the brake pedal before replacing the cap but it would not affect it either way. No you do not need to bleed the calipers.

[@joshuaingram403]

What size is the “removing tool” lol?

[@arnietwo11]

Good job, but ehhhh im disappointed that you didnt clean those alloys before putting them back on, looked like theyve not been touched for months 😅

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi Arnie, thank you for watching and for your feedback. I agree, they are a nice set of 20 inch. I should have cleaned them.

[@PrintTech-3D]

Thanks for the info. It was great help.

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback.

[@TheJaseisace]

Hi I need to change a caliper but I can't see where to clamp the brake line . Is there a hose to clamp on the rear ? . Thanks

[@j.f.4913]

What size tool do I need for the caliper bolts?

[@nolandean9538]

That's exactly what I just said.

[@j.f.4913]

7mm

[@j.f.4913]

7mm hex head and get the rear caliper tool to turn in

[@NicholasBruce-cb5zk]

Nice one, thanks

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi Nicholas, thank you for watching and for your feedback.

[@MrTickle1980]

Do you have to do anything special to reset the electronic handbrake if you change the discs and pads...i have a 2016 but assuming its much the same ?

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. The caliper with the electric motor / actuator fitted to the back of the caliper requires a different procedure to retract the piston.

[@WilliamQuarterman-yt3dm]

I'm having some trouble talking my break Caballero off

[@crystalclearmechanics]

Hi William, thank you for watching and for your feedback. Could you explain the problem?

[@Adi_86]

You can take off disc without taking off caliper bracket.

[@ZulkepliAbuhasan]

Jaguar x type change brake discs

[@phillip1211]

You omitted to tell the viewer what type of tool and size needed to split the caliper. You didn't advise the viewers to clean the disc prior to fitting, you didn't use brake grease on the pads and you din't use a torgue wrench once as far as I can tell. You also didn't warn people about the electric handbrake. If it were to come on while the bare was off, you've got a bigger problem surely?

[@UnknownUnrecognized]

it will be fine, u would not believe what "professional" garages do ;-)
