Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Brodsy's Brake Bible, an independent "DIY Guide" for ALL LR3 & LR4 brake systems that you can find via a Google search....
LINK: https://studylib.net/doc/18360652/bodsy-s-brake-bible
Note: v1.6 is the latest. Link is v1.4.
When I moved from my LR3 to an LR4 in May 2011, I downloaded this PDF and used to it change my brake rotors, pads, sensors and fluids. IT IS AWESOME! I was so impressed, that I actually printed it out at Fedex Office to have a bound copy in hand at my track garage...
The only "gotchas" are the need for:
1) following his advice and BUYING the proper tools
2) investing in a good breaker bar or air gun (those rotor bolts can get really tight).
I have saved a LOT of money doing it myself - except for the time where my kid mashed the brake and shot the piston out of a hanging caliper during a routine brake pad swap... (Cost $1,021 for "rebuilt" caliper + AAA tow to dealer)
All in all, great DIY guide- and I recommend everyone that owns an LR3 & LR4 reference it!
