haynes is good
take wheel off
take of the spring clip at the front/side bit that faces you

take of the rubber dust caps from behind the caliper undo the two bolts "these are like allen key heads you can get the correct allen socket from halfords"

then pull caliper of, get a g clamp and wind the piston back in keepping a eye on the brake fluid with the resivior lid off

put new pads in boltr back up with new bolts bout £7 from vaux

put the rest back together and your done
