The brake calipers need to be removed by slackening and removing the 2 allen key bolts that hold them on.(Usually inside a rubber tube to keep the brake dust off them)Gently rock the caliper from side to side to get the hydraulic piston back a bit,then pull off.Remove old brake pads and put piston back as far as it will go into brake caliper( You may need to temperarily rebolt it onto do this?)Fit new pads,fit caliper ,tighten bolts,pump up brake pedal till it goes hard,then repeat for the other side.
