overhauling Jaguar rear brakes

[86Sebring]

I need info on how to best go about rebuilding Jaguar IRS inboard rear brakes. It looks like I will have to replace the disks and service/ replace the calipers at the same time.
It does not look like a simple job from what I can tell sofar, not much space.
Does anybody have good instructions how to do this job? If I can, I want to do it myself.
thanks for the help

86 sebring. Before you even try this, you will need seal kits and cups. Do you have a good air compressor? If not you will need to rebuild them a different way. It will take me about 1 hour to type all this out. Do you have a phone # to call to at tonight? I will walk you through it. You will need to remove both calipers. stick a screwdrive between pad and rotor to push the cup back off the pads and give you room to slide out. This will push the fluid back into the master cylinder. If the fluid is clean and there is no burnt smell, don't change the fluid. you will need 2 vice grips to pinch off the rubber hose (s) to the calipers. this will stop the system from getting air in it. Dump question what car company made you cobra? ERA has access to the rearend through the car. You may have to drop yours to work on the rear brakes. If you do rotors you may need an alignment for the rearend after this is done. There are shims back there for camber. Give me a number to call you at Rick Lake. If you have time go to a Barnes and noble store and look for a Jag service book or check around locate. This will be a big help in working on this. Where are you located? I'm in NJ.
