    These are brakes you are talking about so you would want to be careful about working on them if you haven't done so before.
    Remove the front axle.
    Its usually a 14mm and 17mm but I am not sure what scooters use.
    Once you take the axle out the whole wheel and spacers will drop out.
    Including the speedo drive #7 in the diagram.
    Carefully put all the spacers back onto the axle in the correct order so you don't lose them.
    The disc is held on with 3 8mm bolts.
    Undo these and fit the new disc and use some thread locking compound Loctite 270 or 243 on the old bolt thread.

    The Brake caliper has two pins that are covered with the plugs #11 in the diagram below. Behind the plugs are the two hex head pins. You may want to give the plugs and pins a tap with a punch as they can be tight.
    Pry the pads apart to push the pistons back into the caliper.
    Pull the pins out and the pads will drop free, clean the caliper with brake cleaner and use some copper grease or ceramic brake paste on the back of the new pads where they touch the pistons to stop squeal.
    Refit the pads and the wheel
    You may need to pump the front brake to get the pads to come out and contact the disc.
    Check for brake operation before you go speeding off!
    You may need to bleed the brakes if the lever doesn't get hard.

    Since you have no idea what you're doing pay the few quid for a mechanic to look after the job.

    Or follow this lads advice on brake pads..



    Its a job a few of us here can do with our eyes closed but thats not to say its for the complete novice either.
