I'm all set to do this tomorrow bought new Brembo discs and pads. Do you need new caliper retaining bolts as suggested in post above or can I just reuse old ones? Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Just did this today fitted Brembo discs and pads. Discs really did need replacing so glad I had the info as per Mark above really straight forward |

Ok so now I have a 4.4 it time to swap the brakes on that too. I did the pads and disks when I bought it a few years back but the pads have started to squeal so thy are coming out anyway.

I decided today to check that the pins weren't seized in the calipers. The top and bottom ones were fine; I cleaned them up and greased them with some Ceratec.

OK, finally, job done. Great write up by NMJ, and I have nothing much to add. The middle pins are a rather odd design but just use a little brute force and they tap out (towards you on the outside of the car).
