Change the Front and Rear Brakes on a 2012 Land Rover LR2.

Read all the way through for additional "need to know" info.

Thanks to Panda Bear for the heads up on the TTY bolts for the front brakes. The TSM doesn't specifically say the bolts are TTY, but it does say to use new ones up front, and to torque to 200 Nm. It doesn't call for new bolts in the back, and 110 Nm is the call here. They don't cost much, and with the money you are saving, I say replace them.

Changing brake pads and rotors for a Land Rover LR2.

I made this video because my local dealership wanted almost $1000 bucks for just the labor, and another $750.00 for the parts, plus a 2 week wait! I was sure I could just do it myself and save a bundle, and I did! ($550.00 for parts). I wanted to make sure that anyone else facing the same situation had another option, even if they weren't quite sure how to do it.

I am a believer in using your dealership when you can, so this wasn't supposed to be a dig at them, but even with filming, and rain delays, this took me a little more than 3 hours. I could have probably done it in 2 and a half, and I felt like the quoted price was insane for the labor rate on brakes.

In their defense, they were backed up by two weeks, so they may have been trying to price themselves out of the job. If that was the case, it worked!
