Appreciate 🙏🙏🙏

I was scared to do this but now I am not. Alex you're a lifesaver and we appreciate your channel. Guys/Gals don't be scared to donate to this fella and subscribe.

[@culpyy]

I hope my comments will prevent anyone else from making my mistake. The only thing I believe I did differently from your video was I couldn't enter maintenance mode. Therefore, I started the car and had it running to disengage the e brake. This allowed me to remove the caliper, but I couldn't compress the brake piston. A costly mistake. Thank you again for the video. Keep up the great work.

[@alexfixty]

Sorry to hear that!

[@RachelVargaOfficial]

Doing my own brakes and rotors next time! I love the extended mode on these cars for getting underneath without a Jack. The time it takes me to get to the shop, chat, get back to where I need to go, then go pick it up, chat and carry on adds up! Saving time and money is huge!

[@Mack-k3c]

Video was very detailed and professional.Job well done!!!

[@archiesmith7945]

One thing you should add in your videos... torque specs whenever you tighten a bolt! For those of us wanting to stick with the manufacturing recommendations... thx

I just changed the rear brakes on my wife's 2013 Range Rover HSE. My regular box wrench was too wide to fit on the 17mm nut on the caliper. I used a small adjustable/crescent wrench, which did the trick. NOTE: I did not need the piston tool. I used a C-clamp and it retracted smoothly and easily. It did not seem forced, nor did anything seem to break. So, no fancy tool needed (only $25 on Amazon but I didn't have it and I saw something online that the piston compresses without twisting). I'll report back if anything broke. But I test drove the car and bedded the pads (hard braking several times)...no problems. Great video!

[@xder345]

You are a legend my friend. The caliper piston recompression had me the most worried, but it seems to be straight compression, no screw winding needed. Already have the tools so I'm good to go. Thanks so much.

[@rhkavli]

I have one comment regarding the lubrication of the clips. The grease goes on between the carrier and the clip. The purpose of the grease is not to minimise friction between the brakepad and the clip, but to prevent rust from forming behind the clip. Rust has a bigger volume than iron, so if rust forms, it will squeeze the clip towards the pad and make it bind up. Here in Sweden, with salty roads, I see this happen all the time.

[@davidwynne3289]

Excellent, informative video. 👍

[@usmanrazzaq242]

I have 2017 range rover sport, I tried to put into service mode, it doesn't go, please advise. Thank you

[@dustinolson7859]

To compress the piston could you not just use a c clamp?

[@chrisowen2763]

Thanks! Super useful. This is the same procedure on Discovery 5.

[@gerrygrehan4257]

Hi Alex thank you very much for your videos. Today I replaced my break pads on the rear of my Range Rover L405. Without your help I would have gone and paid a lot of money to land Rover. Keep up the good work. !!!

[@jean-claudebalics5272]

would this apply to a 2013 LR4?

[@alexfixty]

Not sure tbh 😕

[@afshinazadeh2034]

Is this the same procedure in putting a Range Rover Velar parking brake into MAINTENANCE Mode?

[@unprofessionalmechanic8466]

Hi Alex, I have a question for you... I just tried replacing rear brakes on my 2016 RR, used that tool to retrieve the caliper piston and.... could not fit new pads on to new rotor. Do you have an idea why this may be happening? Do I need to screw the piston in and push it in? Thank you.

[@jcdentonunatco]

You likely havnt pushed the piston back far enough. I recommend the tool he uses in the video, and putting the vehicle in brake maintenance mode BEFORE you remove the caliper. Doing it after can result in popping the piston right out of the socket which can turn the job into a real mess, brake fluid leaking everywhere.

[@keiyshaw]

What about the brake sensors?

[@alexfixty]

Replace them

[@AndyCastellanos-q4w]

is this the same procedure for a 20' velar?

[@alexfixty]

Not sure

[@sistercalhoun4444]

The way you put the car in Brake Service Mode does it work for a 2017 Range Rover Evoque HSE ?.......... And when you put the car in brake service mode can you turn the car off or do you have to leave it in accessory on ?

Hi. Do we need new brake sensor every time change new brake pads. Thanks

[@alexfixty]

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

[@austinlopez6309]

Do you have to replace the sensor when putting new pads in or can you use the old one?

[@alexfixty]

If it’s not damaged you can leave the old one

[@publicname515]

Should you replace the bolts or use thread-lock blue? Which is better?

[@leetaylor1300]

Can you post a link to the caliper rewind tool you used?

[@alexfixty]

amzn.to/3UQfuX5

[@contrac4u]

on some RR you can also use a diagnostic tool or code tool to electronically retract the piston...

[@curtissharris8914]

There is no such thing as simply disconnect the brake sensor at the chasis im finding out. I cut the tab off the middle sensor so I could access it enough to pull the tab up to disconnect the sensor wire there. Otherwise rear brakes r easy. Turing the brake on and off was diff. Finally found someone online who described it so it worked.

[@vwzormrockonbaby2264]

LOL! One hour for first side (non sensor), 40 mins for second side, then one extra HOUR to get that bloody sensor disconnected! Finally resorted to a razor blade and some very careful hand-work to cut off the back of that plastic ribbed devil. Then I couldn't get the new sensor to seat fully with the wiring harness so I doused it with some WD-40 and...... SUCCESS! I almost peed my pants I was so happy!

[@creavonegarrett8871]

Can't get that caliber to retract back.... even in maintenance mode.....??? I wonder what I'm missing here

Replace the plastic cap lug nuts. Took me 20 minutes to do the brakes front and back. Took me two hours and four different sockets to get the Lugnuts off. One piece steel ones on Amazon for 39.99

[@culpyy]

Hey Alex. One more question if you don't mind. I received my new caliper. I'm reinstalling the old motor for the e-brake on the new caliper. The motor is currently unplugged and on the bench. The car is currently in maintenance mode. Is the e-brake motor required to be reset into a maintenance mode position before installing it on the new caliper? Currently, I don't know what position the motor is in. If so, do you have a recommendation? Thanks in advance!

[@alexfixty]

When you set it into maintenance mode you can hear how the they unwind into 0 position. Not sure if you need to do something with it.

[@culpyy]

@@alexfixty I understand. Thanks again Alex.

[@marcoperez6952]

Is it just compressing the brake piston or must you engage the cutouts on the piston and then turn and compress. It also looks as if you are turning piston to the left instead of right. On my 2016..you have to turn piston to right to compress it....Very unclear.

[@georgesolomon5696]

Hello, when changes front/rear pads and rotors is there a need to do a break? Thanks

[@alexfixty]

After you replaced brake pads, pump the brake pedal till it gets hard

[@obedchux987]

Good Day! Pls I loosed and removed the two back brake callipers to compress them as the new pads wasn't entering, after fixing them back and bleeding, the brake pedal goes flat at first and comes a bit hard after several pumping but still goes flat when left for few minutes, had tried several means of bleeding, even changed the brake master and ABS Module but still having same brake failure. Kindly help urgently. Sorry it's a Range Rover 2014 Autobiography and all the jobs where done without me activating the maintenance service mode or can it be the cause?

[@jcdentonunatco]

Bleeding the brakes can be very tricky without proper equipment. Highly recommend letting a shop do the bleeding process unless you have all the equipment

[@Ribvaren]

Txs. Great video 👌

[@1985Abimael]

Do you always have to replace rotors when replacing the pads? My brake light won’t go off ... any advice?

[@rhkavli]

No. But if you replace the rotors, always use new pads with them. Rotor replacement is done if they are severely blue, due to a binding caliper, severe rust, grooves in the surface, or minimum thickness being reached. Then both sides on the same "axle" should be replaced, regardless of the condition on the other side. This is to maintain a good brake balance. If the warning indicator for brake pad wear is lit, you have either consumed the wear sensor, so it has to be replaced, or you have a break in the sensing circuit.

[@mateolopez3454]

How do you get it out of service mode for a 2017 RR sport?

[@marcoperez6952]

Is it really necessary to put the car in maintenance mode to do rear brake pads? You also forgot to mention you need a special brake caliper piston retracting tool. And you need to get the right retracting pad to fit the brake piston otherwise you are wasting your time doing the job!!

[@alexfixty]

0.40

[@marcoperez6952]

Missed that part on tool..sorry. But still puzzled why the parking brake must be put into maintenance mode. I have never used the PB. So it probably is not engaged and already retracted...correct?

[@price9195]

@@marcoperez6952 The parking brake comes on every time the car is turned off. It retracts but not all the way each time you drive. The new pads will be thicker than worn ones and they won't fit o/w.
