Remove the brake pads and rotors, take them to the auto parts store and buy the replacment parts with the NEW parts right in front of you. That way you'll get the right part. Sometimes the manufacturer will put larger brakes on a vehicle with certain options. If your auto parts store doesn't know about it they might not be able give you the right parts.
what is the best way to bleed brakes when installing new caliper on front left wheel
To bleed brakes on your 2008 Uplander front and rear, disconnect the brake line at the caliper.
Rotors out of round?
Front brakes or back> front is really simple, when you take the caliper off, the caliper is held on with 2 1/2 bolts... the rotor will come off if your going to replace that to, it will slide off the spindels when the caliper is removed... put the new pads in place and slide the caliper back on and put the 2 bolts back in to hold the caliper in place.
Type and year of car would help.

you have to unbolt the caliper off the rotor, but not from the brake fluid line.
The front disc brakes for a 1995 Ford can be purchased at auto parts stores such as Pep Boys. The prices for the front disc brakes start at $120.00.
Rear brakes sees less use than front brakes, so may often benefit from being brushed clean and lubed every now and then
it's a 3/8 Allen key
Most likely 3/8 Allen for caliper this truck.
