Fitted these Radar Renegade RT+ tyres on the Defender. Very quite on road, and 3 peaks snow rated and cheap.

Changed the rear discs and calipers as they were sh@gged.
Three of the caliper bolts did the usual rounding off trick.
Bought some of these from screwfix

They took one off no bother, which sorted one caliper. However, couldn't get them to hammer on the remaining two bolt heads.
Nothing for it but to get the angle grinder out.
Cut the caliper in half just behind the disc

This allowed the hub to come off.

This gave access to the top bolt head

Cut that off and access to the bottom one to cut that one off was easy.
What was left of the caliper just knocked off the studs that remained.

The next sized down bolt removing socket was a much better fit on the stud and hammered well on, so the studs came out very easily. I did give the lugs a good heating with a gas torch first though.
All back together and sorted.

Not the best day to be out working on the drive :rolleyes:

Looks like a pain of a job.
Looks all a bit rusty under there, you need a few more oil leaks, that will sort it.

It was a pain. I spent yesterday afternoon trying to hammer that socket on the two seized bolts. Then went on Screwfix again and ordered a 5 pack of 1.5mm metal cutting discs for the angle grinder, because I only had stone cutting discs left. The Mrs picked them up on the way home from work. It was very easy to cut the caliper up. If I'd had the discs already I would have saved half a day :rolleyes:
 
Yesterday picked up the Christmas trees, one eight foot, one five foot, from the local Mole Country Store. The best thing about Mole stores is the price of their trees. £50.97 for the two. Bargain...plus we get some great looks of "ooooh's..." and "aaaaaah's..." from the locals out shopping as we pass by with the rear of tilt rolled up two trees hanging out the back.

One of the great things using the Ninety for Christmas tree duties is it's guaranteed there'll be other Landy owners there too. Yesterday there were another four owners doing the same and it always sparks up conversation. What should be a 40min trip ends up a good hour+ of social fun.

Loaded a couple of spades inot the back and spent a couple of hours digging trenches from our flooded lane across verges to ditches to allow the water to drain away. Doing our local councils job for them. Hoping for a council tax rebate.
