    There are two hex headed bolts and a retaining plate that keep the pads in place - you should be able to do it in about 10 minutes each side.

    Get a torch! :beer:

      on mine there is one allen key bolt to remove on the rears, take out the bolt, remove (slide out) the tube and anti rattle clip, then push back the pistons with the old pad (i get a flat screwdriver in between disc and pad and slowly lever it back and slip in new pad) replace the ARC with arrow upwards, bolt and tube and hand tighten

        One hex bolt. I was thinking of the fronts (which I did yesterday...):banghead:
