Its easy,Take the cap off the master cylinder and put some cloth around it to catch any spillage,Remove 2 safety pins then knock the pins out that go through the pads out towards the middle of the car. Then remove pads,Two 19mm headed bolts hold the caliper on remove these and remove caliper be careful not to let the caliper dangle on the rubber brake hose. Remove the discs there not bolted on but may need a tap to release them,Refit disc and caliper.Then put one of the old pads in one side of the caliper and use two levers(big screwdrivers) to push the pistons back in the other side and insert new pad then remove the worn pad and lever pistons back on that side and fit new pad.Insert pins through caliper and pads and then fit safety pins. Do exactly the same on the other side of car Then PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL it will go straight to the floor 3 or 4 times.Once the pedal has firmed up check brake fluid and top up if needed and replace cap. Job done.
As a tip dont fit the pads dry,put some copper slip on the pad back and edges and the pins this will stop squeal BUT be careful not to get it on the pad braking surface. If your fitting new discs then clean the grease of them before fitting with something like jizer,brake or carb cleaner will all do the job
