very easy do it yourself job. remove rear wheels, remove 2 bolts that hold the brake caliper on. gently push the piston inward and pull off caliper. using a big pair of pliers completely press the piston in. replace your pads just like they come off. reinstall the caliper and gently pump the brake pedal. thats it.
