If you look at the caliper (mite av2 take wheel off) you should be able to see 2 pistons on either side pushing the pad, these are 4 pot. I think you can guess what 2 pots are like! Simple to change as for bleeding, grab a hand from someone to pump the brake. Open the nipple and get them to push pedal down and hold, nip up the bleed nipple and then release the pedal. Repeat as necessary. Keep the reseviour topped up during bleeding!!! Dont over tighten nipple, it'll shear off if unlucky!
