Is changing the brakes on a 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible just like changing brakes on any other vehicle?
Changing brakes on any car is pretty much the same concept wise. Just be sure you look at the whole situation, make sure you have the tools necessary I'm not sure on a jaguar but you may need a special tool to puch those pistons back (rear). Good luck
I just did a brake job on my 2000 XK8. It was just as easy as a domestic car. Same tools to push the pistons back, BUT MAKE SURE YOU UNSCREW THE DRAIN VALVE 1 TURN before you start pushing the piston back. This will drain the fluid (use a hose and jar to collect the fluid) out and not damage the master cyclinder, (well that's what the jag manual said to do.) Saying that all four wheels took about hour to do and stops great.
