DB9 rear brake change

[old phart]

Changed my rear brakes the other day. Took some pics for anyone that might be thinking about doing it. Brakes are really quite easy. If you can take a tire off and beat something with a hammer you're good to go. Actually easier on the Aston than my Jeep. Don't even have to remove the calipers. Installed EBC red's. HAd a bit of a squeel for a week. All gone now.

Really nice write-up. I used the Vantage video on YouTube when I did my DB9, but your photos are outstanding and really clarify the process, particularly regarding the sensors.

Excellent write up, I'll be doing mine this year on the Vantage, so a good reference for me.

You didn't say what type of beer is necessary?

Thanks, will be doing mine at some point.

Nice write up and great pictures but I think you missed 2 things-
I remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before pushing the pistons back- it makes it easier.
When fitting the pads I put copper paste on the back to stop brake squeal.
Thanks for sharing.

Very good write up accompanied by some excellent pictures (pictures are worth a thousand words!)
Well done and thank you.
