caliper

Has anyone else had the two big bolts that hold the brake caliper to the axle fall out? I lost one about 2000 km ago and had it replaced then today the other one fell out, stripping the threads as it left. No brake work done recently so I can't understand why they would suddenly loosen.

I am looking for some pointers on removing a 17mm bolt that sits right below a brake pipe on my 91. I am trying to remove the bracket so I can keep the pipes and hoses attached when I lift the caliper off. I cant get anything in the tight space and with the coil spring being right there. Any...

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a 2012 RRS. I noticed last week that there was a loud squealing coming from what sounded like my front, driver side, brake. I immediately got it back to my house which I was only about 3 blocks away. The car sat in my garage for about a week while I was out of...

If you look at the directions in the RAVE manual for replacing the front brake pads it says to clean and inspect the brake caliper guide pins and replace if corroded but it specifically says not to lubricate them. I was taught and have seen lubricating the guide pins to be common practice...

Here's one for the experts - what size 12-point socket fits the caliper holding bolts on a Ranger Rover L322 MY2010? The vehicle is on jacks; I have a 20mm and 21mm combo-wrench and the 20mm is too small and the 21mm is loose. Could it be Imperial? I thought the bolt was M12. Thanks.

Interesting discovery today on my RRS. Last year I had a very bad vibration from the rear of the truck. I pulled over and was blasted by the heat from the passenger side rear wheel. Turned out the caliper had seized. Replaced the caliper with a rebuilt and left the same pads in that were hardly...

My Range has been standing for a long time, now it's time to reactivate it. I have to get it (MOT) approved and as I drove a test drive yesterday, I noticed the left rear wheel isn't braking as well as the others (the rust isn't worn off as much as at the other disks and it doesn't get as warm...

Just replaced my brake rotors and pads all round, and caliper brackets on the rear. When driving down the road, I hear a very gentle metallic rubbing sound. Its not the bearings. It appears that the rotors on the inside edge of all four are barely touching the inside edge of the brake caliper...

I have a 2010 RRS Supercharged 5.0. The front left brake caliper is sticking/not working properly and I need to source a replacement. Options are: 1) New LF 2010 Supercharged caliper, about $1000 2) Used LF 2010 Supercharged caliper, maybe $600 and I cannot find one that is suitable 3) I...

Attempting a brake job and the front replacement went well. The rear brake replacement is not going well, car was put in brake maintenance mode and we have tried to compress the calipers with the piston compression tool. They will not compress far enough to complete re-install. We also opened...

I have a 2012 RRS (HSE Lux) which came with the SC-style 20" wheels. After lots of research, I decided to track down a set of the old LR3 10-spoke wheels to mount with AT tires, which I understood should fit fine on my non-supercharged, non-Brembo equipped RRS. Got everything today, and upon...

So I got the brake light on the dash. I replaced the front brake pads rotor with no issues. But I went to replace the rear pads and rotor and I'm trying to reassemble but the piston on the caliper will not compress. Car is halfway in my garage and I have to have the car. I'm using a C-clamp and...

So just a quick question pertaining to a 2006 range rover n/a 4.4 (so regular sliding calipers front and back). The, I presume torque to yield, calipers bolts that your replace every time you take them out, not the ones on the back of the slide pins, the ones for the caliper mount bolt that...

After a few weeks of driving my '99 2.5 D P38 since the ABS and TC lights first showed (presumed faulty ABS sensor) the rear left disc got very hot on a 30 minute journey home on Tuesday. Fault Codes showing were: 84 - brake switch failure 1 - brake switch failure 75 - pump relay driver fault...

SO an update... Currently I've got 6100 miles on my beast already. Yesterday I drove Bedford, NH to Hopkinton, MA for a meeting. I got 40 miles into my drive noticed it was pulling a bit to the right, I then got past Mass pike after some traffic near the interchange and got back up to...

Greeting folks. First of all, great forum and a big thanks to all the folks who continue to provide all this invaluable info. I'm trying to determine what the proper bolt torque spec's are for Brembo calipers for a 2012 RRS Supercharged. The numbers seem to be all over the place, so any help...

Hi folks, Do you think it's a good idea to paint my RRS Se 2016 silver caliper into red? Lol After saw the brembo caliper (it's so much cooler) but it's too expensive and gonna change the all the wheels/tires, should've pay the extra money for the V8 Superchagre:( Anyone else did it before...

Hi all, My L322 06 vogue RR (not sport) has Brembo disc calipers, I have an issue and question I hope you can help with. First are these a factory fitted item? second the piston is sticking, I have had this looked at last year and the guy said it was pitted, I had new seals and it was cleaned...

I rebuilt both of the Brembo front brake calipers on my 2006 Range Rover Supercharged during the winter of 2015-2016, and in this thread I outline the process, and more importantly, my source for replacement parts. Cut to the chase: I purchased new seals and anodized aluminum pistons from...
