How do you change brake pads on Jaguar XJ8?

To change the brake pads on a Jaguar XJ8, start by safely lifting and securing the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake caliper, then unbolt the caliper and slide it off the rotor. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket, compress the caliper piston using a brake tool, and install the new pads. Reassemble by placing the caliper back over the rotor, securing it with bolts, and reattaching the wheel. Finally, pump the brake pedal to ensure the pads seat properly before driving.
