Discovery 4 rear brake pipes

How much of a job is it to change the rear brake pipes, mine has had another advisory of corrosion on the mot and sooner or later it will be a fail I expect, is it another Land Rover design of body off or can it be done without major work.
Thanks

I can't imagine the 4 being much different, if at all.

Just give them a light wire brush, then slather them in some water proof grease.
Aerosol chain grease is good, messy as hell but good all the same.

Easy enough, buy the repair sections and a few clips from LR, drop off the exhaust from approximately the B pillar backwards, remove the heatshield under the NSR floor section and join the repair sections there. Used to take about 2.5 hours, but we were doing 2-3 a week so 'muscle memory' probably accounted for another 40 mins

If it is the ones on the rear arms you can buy them ready made.

If its the rear ones, they go across and over the propshaft where its a common fault, so you will have to drop the prop.

No you don't.

I like the idea of a clean and Grease , no pun intended, once I am over this new virus that’s doing the rounds I’ll have a look.
Thanks
