Another thought

Workshop manual says bleed excess brake fluid through brake nipple.
Easier route could be to syringe excess out of the reservoir?
In any event, maybe open the reservoir whilst pushing the pistons back in and check the level....


Don't push dirty fluid from the caliper back through the hydraulic system. Always open the bleeder when retracting the pistons.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

northernmonkeyjones - thanks for the brilliant guide. Did nearside Discs and pads on my 6 pot brembos on Wednesday before being rained off. Thought offside would be dead easy yesterday now I knew the method. Well it was an absolute Bas***d!!
The pins took some extreme beating to remove. Thought I was going to have to replace the caliper
The Central pin with the 13mm bolt on the back, got the bolt out OK but couldn't budge the thick pin however hard I beat it!! In the end, as the caliper was coming off to replace the Disc i managed to slot the new pads in from behind.
I didn't have a 12-point 21mm socket but luckily had a 12 point 13/16" socket in my imperial stuff for my MGB and that fitted perfectly. I had to remove these bolts with the steering turned so I could use a long breaker bar as my Aldi Impact Wrench wasn't budging them.
