those M10 brake nipple bolts are not budging, the corrosion is shocking, what cheap bolts they used, have got the WRX spray out and sprayed on, will do again in 4 hours, and again at night, hopefully after 24 to 48 hours ( and maybe more WRX) we may get these Censored out of the Brembo calipers ( maybe not ) , but worth a try




The front Brembos are well known for the bleed screws welding to the caliper. Once heating and anti-seiz don't work anymore (and you inevitably snap the screw because they're exceptionally soft), it's time to drill. When I drilled one of my calipers with a smaller bit than the thread, to see if I could remove the original stud, I could actually see how the thread of the caliper had amalgamated itself with the thread of the bleed screws.

As Phoenix says, drill out the holes, re-tap and fit new larger bleed screws. If you make a hash of it, you can get M12 bleed screws also. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

good to know - many thanks Gary - appreicated

could I ask if anyone has used front brake discs on the rear, my discs ( both front and rear ) look the same, but of course in true JLR fashion they are different part numbers, but could I put my front discs on the rear ?

The front and rear discs are both different sizes and different offsets. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8
