Wrapping up the rear brake overhaul of "Black & Tan"

- Brake repair/overhaul of a 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Series III

Success...or at least partially!

I was finally able to remove all of the rear brakes components on one side of the car. This includes the caliper and rotor. With the effort involved, it's no wonder that it cost thousands for a rear brakes overhaul on this car - which is exactly why I am replacing everything in the one go.

Next move, install the new parts on the driver's side then move on the the passenger's side with my newfound knowledge.

Sometimes I really hate this car.

It took me about 17 hours doing just the rear brakes on this. Contrast this with doing all four brakes on my wife's Honda Pilot in an hour.
