When I got mine done I replaced the caliper piston's anorl, last thing you need is a stiff/seized piston trashing the new disc's....

theres a possibility you could break one when removing them then your fooked !!:doh:
so i would say yes :D:D:D
 
Don't forget to grease the back of your pads and the new pins with copper slip or similiar else it'll sound like a rusty old transit when you brake....!
 
Oh and apparantely the discs are a bugger to get off the hub - someone said that if you bolt the hub back onto the wheel it gives you something to hold when you try to undo the bolts.....

:eek: gulp' ok land rover tool #1 it is then.
 
If they're really tight on there after some hammering andswearing, another tips was that you can put the hub and disc in the oven for a bit to heat it up - shouldn't do any damage to anything as long as the bearings and that are out.

Are you doing new wheel bearings too?
