Take off break fluid cap, take whell off, turn wheel round to see frunt of calipar put flat screw driver in between disc and pad and push in to get the calipar piston back, now get spanner think it will be eather 17 or 19 mill unbolt the 2 bolts holding the calipar on at the back slide it off take out old pads and replace with your new ones but back on and do the same with the other side but cap back on and remember to take your time as new breaks take a few days to bed in.
