to take the pads out there are 2x pins across the top of the caliper........remove these together with the "anti-rattle" shim, push pistons back & remove pads,
THOROUGHLY clean the caliper of pad residue........refit new pads applying a little 'copper slip' to the rear face of each pad (NOT THE FRICTION SIDE!!!!!)........
refit shim and pins..........voila!!

Question

Don't you have to bleed them or anything like that?

is it just a pad swap?

Thanks for the replies guys

I was planning a straight forward pad swap, although i quick bleed might not be a bad idea,

My brakes have lost alot of feel recently , im hoping the new pads will restore the pedal feel
