take off wheels, unbolt caliper, take out set screw, pull off rotor. Quite easy.

Why are you changing the rotors, who's pads and rotors are you going to install?

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. Was just curious if there was anything particular with the land rover that I should look out for.

Because they're very worn and I need to do the pads anyways. Thought I'd just do 2 birds with 1 stone. I didn't have a particular manufacturer in mind, can you recommend one?

EBC or DBA rotors and ceramic Akebono brake pads.

I am real big on the Akebono ceramic pads, stop better, last longer, no dust, no squeaks and no 3 Amigo codes.
Rotors I will leave up to you.
