There you go, all the info you should need is in the manual, you'll need a wind back tool to screw the pistons back in with about £15 from local tool stockists, otherwise pretty stright forward job, loosen handbrake cable off though and re-adjust when complete.

beware of scraped knuckles.... :-[http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/brakesmanual.htm

A set of these brake hose pinchers is handy, prevents brake fluid loss while swapping calipers .
