tips on replacing 52 reg freelander front pads

Hi Everyone could anyone give me a few tips on replacing my freelanders front brake pads any tips welcome as this is my first attempt

The Haines manual is really clear on this. If I can do it, anyone can. Also, you can download the Freelander "RAVE" (LR's workshop bible) from The Green Oval - Home.

Cheers

Thanks Blippie,
I think I will have a look at the Haynes manual I have the Rave manual but fail to understand the part where it states bleed bottle etc, I have never done this before and i am a complete newbie. So anyone who has done this and can add anything that may help me understand I would be grateful for the advice
