Hi, Changing the pads is simple on this car as there are only two bolts to remove to free the caliper from the disc. Make sure the hand brake is off first as on this model the handbrake applies pressure to the discs. You will need a brake caliper piston rewind tool. very simple to use but the pistons on these calipers don't just push in they screw in. Replace new pads for old and you're away.
