This is a serious job; if you don't pay attention to the shim clearences, and the lock wires that go through the bolts, YOU WILL SCREW IT UP AND ENDANGER THE LIVES OF ANYONE IN THE CAR! Buy a Haynes Repair manual for the car. That $14.00 Book will save you hundreds to thousands. I'm not giving you a fish; I'm teaching you how to fish. As a fellow Jag (V12) owner, this is the best way I can answer your question to help you now, and in the long term.

A horrible task

The entire rear diff unit has to be removed. It's a huge job not suited to non-professionals. Expect to pay for about 8 man hours plus parts and don't even think about taking this to a non Jag mechanic (so the hours will be expensive). Most Jag owners try to get as much rear end work out of the way all at the same time because removing and refitting the rear end is so expensive/painful.

With patience. The bolt are 5/8s and hopefully don't have lockwires on them. Remove the bolts (conds easy, 1/8 of a turn at a time times 4...) Remove the 7/16" bolts and push the handbrake assemblies out of the way... and they will come out. Install is much harder than removal.

That's all true. here is a web page with pics and how to http://one-more-time.us/jaguar/

Why don't rear calipers release on 93 probe gt?

The Calipers May Be Bad; Also The Brake Hoses Could Be Bad. On The Inside This Will Restrict The Flow Of Brake Fluid Back Into The Master Cylinder Causing The Caliper To Stay On. If You Replace The Calipers, Replace The Hoses Also.
