    Hi guys,
    just looking for some guidance in replacing them.
    Car jacked up, handbrake off, brake fluid cap off, have the "wind back tool".
    Any tips greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It's pretty straightforward -
    remove wheel
    open caliper
    remove old pads
    wind back piston
    grease caliper slide pins
    copper paste on pads where they come into contact with caliper
    close caliper
    replace wheel
    give the brake pedal a few pushes
    put cap back on brake fluid tank
    take it handy for a couple miles when braking

    Edit: from google http://www.merivaownersclub.co.uk/forum/how-to-change-53-plate-pads-and-discs_topic84.html
