i just changed mine, one way to tell is to look at the bolts holding your on, one type has a standard bolt head, the other has a sort of spline head which are a bastid to get off, get in touch with them im sure they could give you more info

By spline, do you mean 12-point hex bolts mounting the caliper mounting bracket to the hub?

My disco 2 uses those.

I had the same problem recently. Went to a Sealey stockist who sold me a set of 12 point sockets for around 20 quid so next time I get a similar problem I will have the right socket ready ;-)

Sealey (urgh) also sell a set of 'Universal Drive' sockets, which they claim can undo 6point hex, 12 point hex, torx etc - but I decided to get just 12 point as I figured they might have less risk of rounding off the bolts.
