Changing brake pads on a Jaguar XF is a simple maintenance task that requires basic tools and knowledge. Before starting any work, make sure you have all the necessary supplies, including socket wrenches, a brake caliper clamp, torque wrench, pry bar or flat-head screwdriver, and brake pads specifically designed for your Jaguar XF.
To change your brake pads, locate the brake caliper near the front of the car on the driver’s side. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts holding the brake caliper in place. Secure the brake caliper with a brake caliper clamp and use a pry bar or flat-head screwdriver to remove the old brake pads from the brake rotor. Insert the new brake pads into the brake caliper, tighten the bolts, and repeat the process on the other side of your Jaguar XF. Finally, test your brakes to ensure they are working properly.
It is recommended to replace brake pads every 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and usage. While aftermarket brake pads are available, it’s best to use high-quality parts specifically designed for your Jaguar XF for proper fit and performance. Changing brake pads on a Jaguar XF can take anywhere from 2-4 hours with the right tools and knowledge.
