Default brake job

Hi guys,
My rear pads and rotors need to be replace. I have the parts, but not the know how. Does anyone have a link or a good source of 'how to' for this job. I'm fairly mechanical, and have a couple friends that I could call on for help if need be. Thanks!

If you have a service manual, it has the steps....... Unfortunately, you have to pull the hub bearings and such. Not a very good design. You should repack your bearings while you are in there.

Friends,
I need help with my Discovery 1996 model. I am having problem with the brakes; have already change master cylinder, pads, rotor, calipars...but still after a week or so i have to stand on the pedals to stop my ride. There is no leak, my tech is surprised and has not seen this problem before. I wanted to check if anyone had this problem and what is the solution for it? your response will be highly apprecaited.

it might be because the brakes are new and arent completely bedded. it takes nearly 1000 miles before the brakes are broken in.

Is the brake booster working OK? Vacuum lines all hooked up?
