remove retaing spring,loosen off bolts with a 7mm allen key or socket push back piston slighty to remove caliper remove pads unbolt pad carrier with 13mm socket and ratchett remove carrier and remove other pad,good idea to clean up surfaces where pad sits in carrier push back piston,hammer off old brake disc and fit new ones rebuild back up in reverse if you have copper grease then lubricate metal points on pads to stop brake squeal hope that helps u.
