Thanks for putting this up. Where would we be without your honest 'how-too's' !- Keep up the good work, these cars are falling way down the food-chain now and your vids will be very popular!
Enjoyable watch, the copper grease was a bit of a fail but many others do use it for that job. You also showed another reason by brakes bind when you tried to get the pads out. Rust can build up behind the stainless shims and jam the pads in place.
Copper grease is not the best choice for slide pins as it isnt a lubricant. A more suitable choice would be silicone grease ,Ceratec or Molykote G3407 which are all safe with rubber. Red rubber grease is for assembling rubber components rather than as a metal to metal lubricant.
Please don't use copper grease, it's abrasive as it contains copper shavings and will wear out the sliders, not only that it will dry out alot quicker than proper heat resistant caliper grease!
Guys, awesome videos! I've used them to change the rear discs and pads on my Range Rover Sport L320 SDV6 (same setup as your Discovery 4), but unfortunately I wasn't paying attention when I removed the caliper slide pins and later noticed the leading and trailing pins are different - one has a tall rubber ring at the end, while the other is only metal, with grooves running along the pin (triangular, rather than circular section). Do you happen to know which one is the leading pin (bottom) and which is the trailing pin (top)? The service manual clearly states this for the front brakes, but for the rear ones I haven't found anything so far...
Instead of using cable ties to hold your calipers up out of the way, spend a couple £ on bungee cords. There a lot easier to use on your own and reusable for so many other things.
There are a few guys in the US who are doing a good job selling similar products.... we do ship to the US... glad your enjoying our videos and products !
The car is on a jack - but also axle stands - never work on a vehicle while it is only supported on a jack !

Lets try and keep these cars on the road !

There's no need to remove the Caliper carrier, you can do the slider rods in situ.
I was wondering about that, thanks

Yes i am going to have to sharpen my pencil on the grease. Just ordered some so keep watching.
Great videos!!! Makes me want a Range Rover again

Jordan Lickley it will soon start sticking using copper slip
It's not even grease it's antiseize
Thanks for that
Just figured out what you meant by Dan's spelling error..... 'SEISED' in the opening titles! Kaboom Tish! :-D Good luck with the MOT guys.

Very good and helpful thanks for your skill and sharing with us.
Great video guys many thanks. Just one request please Dan put some oil on your seat/trolley wheels. It sounds terrible everytime you move.
Yes i spotted this when i played the video.... will oil the seat....
Why not replace Disc and Pads while you are there for the MOT. You said you was going to have to do it anyway.??
As we will upgrade the brakes but i wanted to do a separate video for that.
Dan for prime minister!!!!!!!
Them Caliper holder bolts are actually 15mm not 16mm !! Just wanted to correct you

Steven Lee use a free wire coat hanger like we do here
What about rear parking brake?
Calliper pistons do stick on these. And parking brake shoes can jam on.

The job was going so well until you used copper grease on the sliders
should have used red rubber grease ?
Red grease or a good quality silicon grease that’s what I use
You need to give your stool a spray of WD40!
