Installing a front brake on Leader 725

I just bought a Tektro R559 from Amazon, and I want to know if anyone knows of any tutorials, and instructions for installation. Sorry if this is annoying Im such a newbie. I've got Cane Creek Crosstop levers, and a XLC Brake Cable kit which i'm putting on a Leader 725. Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure that is a long reach caliper...

What fork do you have? Are you sure you need long reach? Did you measure?

I did measure it. I wsan't sure about the distance so I decided to get the long reach thinking I could just raise the pads. They weren't expensive so I decided to give it a try.
