Re: Brakes
 
Front:
1. Remove the caliper. Unscrew the 2 8mm hex bolts and remove the caliper.
2. Before removing the old pads, use a screwdriver to spread them apart.
    This will provide the clearance for the disk when the new pads are installed.
3. Note the orientation of the pads. Remove the old pads, clean the caliper, and put in the new ones.

Changed the brake fluid too?

Rear:
1. Remove the plastic cover from the under side of the caliper.
2. Note the orientation of everthing . Remove the clips, pins, and springs that hold the pads in-place.
3. Remove the pads.
4. Installation is in reverse order.
