never heard of bike but all very simple.
Take caliper off generally two bolts
There wil be a dust cover over pads take this off.
You should see pads held in with 1 or 2 pins.
Before you remove pins get a strong flat screw driver and put in between old pads and push the pistons back. They should be fairl firm but will go back ok.
when pistons pushed back remove pins (maybe a circlip at end)Then replace old pads with new ones. Have a look how old ones are in the caliper. Take pictures so you dont forget
And pop calipar back pump break lever until its feels firm and away you go!
