don't use a 6 sided socket,
don't press the brake pedal once you've removed the calliper
don't ask how I know about the 2nd one.

nope - wont end up with that - coz the calipers are worn, such as the pads can move forward on to the centre hub - a common problem, I am told. so I got new disks, pads, calipers and (hopefully) all the fittings - I dont intend to do the job twice!
erm - how well do yu know the, erm, numpty?
oh - an when yu coming down south next?

just done mine a couple of weeks ago. Calipers, Discs, Pads, retainer kit...
Was a bit of a ball ache as the pipes has corroded into the caliper so needed to make new pipes with a flaring kit.
a relativley straightforward job though
the only tip i got for u is once you got the hub off, bolt it back to the wheel and drop it down hub side up, to act as an anchor to hold the hub when you need to get the disc bolts out... thell be on tight, get a big hammer as well!!
apart from that maybe get a couple of spare hub locking washers, half shaft gaskets, coppergrease and locktite for reassembly
and as red says you'll need 24flat sockets 13&14&17mm I think..!!
