How to change brake discs and pads?

The Haynes and official Rover manuals recommend this method.

Good luck -let us know how you get on

Hi Pete Just picked up on an old post reference brake change(due very shortly).Interested in doing it via the bleed nipple method? As you suggest.
When exactly did you close the nipple in the piston return process?
is there any need to clamp flex brake pipe, and if so with what?
All the best and Happy new Year Regards Derek
