Hi
Changing the pads is straight forward enough. Remove the roadwheel and check the wear on them before changing them. To remove the pads there are only 2 bolts to undo. Ease the cylinders back in to the calipers and replace the pads. Assembly is simply the reverse of removal. If you are unsure and live within reasonable driving distance of Wantage in Oxfordshire you can bring your car over and i'll change them for you while you wait. Hope this helps.
Kind regards
