1980 280i REAR BRAKE PADS

[Tony Trans Am]

Does anyone have a part number for these or know what they are off, I cannot see them on the list.
Any hints or knacks on changing them will be appreciated.

Earlier XJ6, E type, some XJS ? I think, sure someone will be along soon to confirm.


Possibly not the easiest of pads to change

Hi mate

All Wedges have the jag rear axle so Jaguar XJS/ 3.6 83 - 92.

Of course you can buy cheaper but why would you?...

Hope this helps

Whoops nearly forgot....

It can be a pig of a job if you do not have access to a lift....You might have to cut the pins out as the rust in...You can drop the diff but thats another mission in itself.

I usually use ramps and it's not that difficult just a bit fiddly.

Follow the usual brake pad regimen of cleaning all the rust off the calipers around the pads before removal and again when they are out.

I luckily got a few sets of mintex rear ones quite cheap a few years ago and have one set left but they are not made now.

Mines is a 280 too, i'm sure i've some pics if you want.
