Description
Front brake pad fitting kit for early split-pin calipers
This STC8573 front brake pad fitting kit is for early Land Rover Defender and Discovery 1 solid front disc brake calipers using the split-pin retaining arrangement. On this caliper type, the split pins pass over the brake pads rather than using the later solid pins that pass through the pads.
Brake pad retaining hardware can become corroded, bent, weakened or difficult to remove during a pad change. Fitting fresh hardware avoids reusing tired pins and clips, and helps the pads sit correctly in the caliper.
This kit is not for the later solid pin-through-pad setup. If the calipers use solid retaining pins through the brake pads, use the STC8576-RTC5001 front brake pad fitting kit for solid discs instead.
Check the caliper and pad retaining arrangement before ordering. This is especially important on older Defenders and Discovery 1s, where brake calipers may have been changed during previous repair or upgrade work.
