Default Changing my brake pads

Hi Guys

I will soon be going out to the garage to change my Brake pads. I have bought Ferodo ds 2500's front and rear.

Is there any special tools i need and what must i do to bed them in?

Also does any one have any tips that might be helpful in this task?

Cheers
Julian

Very easy to change , no special tools required apart from small pin punch , hammer , big screwdriver to lever pistons back and pliers to pull the brake clips and pins out and don't forget to pump the brake pedal up when you've finished !

Copied from last time I posted it.....

"Jack up, wheel off, lid off fluid res, wire clip off, pins out and spring plate off, push piston back using old pad and some adjustable pliers, lift out old pad, copper slip new pad back and insert along with anti-squeal shim, copper slip pins and insert along with spring clip, refit wire clip, wheel on, jack down. Do other side then put lid back on res. Start up and pump pedal a couple of times to seat the new pads, take for a gentle test to make sure."
