Anyone know the best way to change calipers? I have a 96 disco and I just need to replace my fronts. Is there a quick step by step guide to help me? Thanks

Where are you getting your replacements from? How are the current pads and rotors? How long has it been since you greased your front wheel bearings?

Its straight forward after that you will bleed the lines.

My pads and rotors are fine had new ones installed in May of 07. My caliper is leaking brake fluid on the right front side bad. I have to press the pedal to the floor to barely stop. I have no idea on how to bleed the brake line.

Its a two person job.
After you have the caliper on and brake line one and the master cly
full.
Find the nipple on the caliper (on top) one person pumps the brake
pedal and then holds the brake pedal as the other person lets air and brake fluid out of the nipple, the brake pedal will go to the floor
hold it there until the nipple is shut then start over this may take 10 to 15 times keep the master cly full of fluid.
