Land Rover Repair: Remove and Replace Front and Rear Brake Rotors, brake caliper, other vehicles


Question
I need to remove, turn (re-surface) and replace the front and rear brake rotors on my 2003 Discovery II SE.  I have never had to do this on this vehicle before and am used to other vehicles where the rotors come right off.  How do these rotors come off?  Can you give a step-by-step procedure for doing this?

Thanks alot for your help!
Phil

Answer
In brief, this is what you do:

- Remove wheel
- Remove brake caliper and frame
- Remove retaining screw holding rotor to hub
- Remove rotor

The rotors are not thick enough to surface.  If your rotors are worn or warped, you should fit new ones.
