advice on replacing front pads on a 97 4runner

i have replaced pads a couple of times on vehicles that don't have ABS.i need to replace the pads on a 97 4runner.
my questions are
1-is it o.k to disconnect the brake line from the caliper.
2-can you bleed the brakes the same as a non-abs system.
3-does anybody have the patience to give a quick tutorial on how to do this?
4-is there any place on the net that would show me how to do this?i will be getting a manual shortly.
thanks for any help in advance

first...
Why are you having to disconnect the brake line from the caliper anyhow?
Anyways, i'm not sure about the basic differences in my 4runner and yours, but of all the vehicles i've replaced pads on, abs and non-abs, they've all been very similar, so much as replacing pads ONLY...replacing the caliper was a different story, so thats why I would recommend doing everything but removing that line. Even though it will make turning the caliper back in much easier, it is not worth the risk, just use a screwdriver or nicely fit wood block. If you're still needing a front brake pad installation tutorial, then read this :

Go to local auto store (autozone perhaps...) and tell them you want front brake pads for a camry of your certain year. Get the one with the better warranty for the cheapest price. It doesnt matter which ones you get if they are for daily driving since most perform to atleast near OEM standards.
Pop the hood and take off the cap to the brake fluid reservoir.
Jack the car up and put the front on stands while the ebrake is locked AND blocks are securing the back tires. Take the wheels off, and remove the guard plate that is blocking access to the caliper. Now loosen whatever nut that is neccessary to remove the caliper (usually at the top and bottom part of the inner side). When you take it off, be careful not to drop it. Now, you can remove the old pads easily and make sure to take the cover plate off the outer plate and place it on the new ones to avoid damage. When the old ones are off, you need to get some screwdriver or something and TURN the caliper back in. In should keep turning and eventually stop, then you must stop turning it. Place the new pads in their correct place, replacing the outer plate as well. Put the caliper back on, and replace guard plate. Repeat all of this on the other front wheel (must replace both at same time or you'll be replacing brakes more often). Now after doing the other side, let car down, and replace reservoir cap. Now make sure to pump the brakes before moving. You should be set now.

Good work eh3civic ;)
