unbolt the caliper.



pull off it off the disc - it will come.



rest the caliper on a support so it doesnt pull the brake pipe.



get a screw driver and hammer, tap the pads out from behind (they are accessable)



use a clamp (3 from focus/b%26amp;Q etc) to clamp the pistons in the caliper back so you can fit the new pads in AND get them back on the disc.



tap the new pads in (avoid tapping the actual brake pad part itself - use the edges.)
