Now the front.......

Slightly loosen the 12mm brake line banjo bolt.  Just enough to "crack" it, but not enough to have fluid start pouring out.  

Remove the two allen bolts that hold the caliper to the fork.  This pic shows me using a regular 8mm allen key, but I actually used a ratchet wrench with a hex bit.

Remove the 10mm brake line hold-down clamp.  Also get the speedometer cable out of the guide (not shown) that is bolted to the caliper carrier (or just unbolt the guide).

Remove the caliper from the disk.  Remove the brake line and let the remaining fluid drain into a pan.  Watch the paint!  I tie one or two baggies over the brake line to keep dust and junk out of the system, while preventing any remaining brake fluid ooze from dripping in the bike.  If possible, you may want to some how tie or prop the line away from painted bike surfaces, just in case the baggie leaks (which mine did).
