Just finished fixing the rear brakes on my 56 plate TDV8. I thought I was in for a new set of rear calipers, but when I started taking everything to bits, the calipers just came straight off and were moving freely. The brakes pads on the other hand had to be knocked out with a hammer. The anti-rattle clips were caked in brake dust and the carrier had rusted under the anti rattle clips preventing the pads from releasing from the disc. Quick clean up and a copper grease and everything is working fine. 56 TDV8 Vogue SE
