I wanted to know is it hard to change the front and rear brakes on a 98 D1. Also, anything need to be done with the ABS brakes?

Yes it is very easy to replace the brakes on the Disco, the pads simply slide into the slots you don't even have to take the Caliper off the Rotor although it helpes when you need to push the pistons back into the caliper. Simple job it took me about two hours the first time I did my front only because I didn't know what I was doing, now its about an hour work. Don't forget to bleed the brakes by opeing the bleeder valve on the caliper and check the rotors while your in there. The ABS system does not play a factor in changing the pads at all, nothing needs to be done to the system.
