In the XJ section there is a great write up on how to replace the brakes, which others have used for XK8 & R as well. Just thought I would post, and added my input on the rear rotor removal. My rear rotors would not budge, I finally found a post that says the emergency brake needs to be backed off. There is an access hole on the front of the rotor, usually with a plug. Remove the plug, loosen the adjuster as much as possible. I still could not remove the rotors though, and it took about 20 very hard hits with a heavy hammer before is freed up.
