Thanks for the great instructions on this. However the lock washer (FTC3179) suggested in this video seems not correct for my 2007 Puma. It’s way thinner than the one that is used there (FTC5241). Do not attempt to replace it with the lock washer suggested as it will completely deform. Please check the diagrams before purchasing the parts, I think FTC3179 is actually only being used on older models with the old locknut/washer system (the exact opposite what is suggested in this video). Hope this helps!

Very good information but I notice that although the caliper pistons were seized solid, the disc was very shiny as if it had been working normally, is that just the amount of movement on the seized piston rubbing on the disc? I find it annoying that Land Rover choose to put an 11 mm x 1.5 mm thread in the end of the half shaft where there are 5 10 mm x 1.5 mm bolts holding on the drive flange, one of the bolts could easily be used to pull the spined shaft back out to fit the circlip, but 11 mm is not a "common" thread.

Is this identical to Range Rover Classic (1994 "County" NAS with standard wheelbase - might be called Vogue in UK? not sure) 3.9? I can't find anyone within 100 miles to do this for me. So here we go...

In reality, it’s a bloody nightmare, stuck in first 5 minutes trying to remove the brake pipe bracket, hopeless. I should have bought a Disco 3

At what degree the crankshaft of 2019 defender is offset?

He says, "you will have to have a new copper brake pipe made up" What does that mean? Why is this necessary? Where do we get one from? Who can fit it? etc. etc. etc

Nice video, but no mention of the fact that the two callipers are different. They are marked L/R and the bleed valves need to be at the top or the brakes won’t bleed properly. And yes; I missed that first time round 🤪🤦‍♂️
