Morning Tony, hope you are well. Building myself up to adjust the camber and castor angles on the E type this morning. only one more "special tool" to make and I'm good to go.:D:D

Long time since i did any castor camber settings. Bit of a lost art on a lot of modern motors. ;);)
 
Sorry, but anyone who needs a guide to change brake pads should not be doing the job IMHO.
Changing pads - no, Changing the entire disc - yes, because the caliper assembly on a P38 is nothing like the ones I am used to on Saabs.
And even less like the drum brakes on a Series or a UAZ. At least on the P38 I can safely assume the discs are all the same size. Unlike the drums on a UAZ.

Front and rear discs are different sizes.
 
The screw holding the rotor in place will probably need banging round with a hole punch then replacing. Might need some heat to get the caliper bolts out. In the technical section there is a How To on changing the CV boot and I think it mentions taking the caliper off too.

I find an impact driver works on the screw and a large cracker bar on the caliper carrier bolts.:)

so the first time you did it it was perfect, no prior knowledge or anything, most people learn from watching other people do things, as an apprentice nobody said there's a machine that's fooked fix it, you worked with the main man - apprentice doesn't happen these days so the videos do help those willing to learn IMHO

That's what this forum is for;) I've seen some "helpful" videos ( not porn Andy) that I wouldn't give house room to.
