OK

Remove the wheel trim and remove the road wheel, I would advice using a good set of axle stands to support the car as you have to give the caliper bolts a bit of welly to get them loose.

Once its up in the air you will have to take off the caliper slide bolts they are hidden under two plastic bungs, you need to use a special Allen/torx key to get these off.

Mine were hard to get out so I took the caliper off and use a good set of moleys against my thigh to get them out.

Ok you will need a 13 mill socket with a good rachet/bar to get the caliper of the suspension leg.. That is when you may have to give it a bit of welly.

Take of the brake anti squeal/rattle spring clips you may have to replace them if you are carefull you may use them again..

Once the caliper and the slide are loose you can get at the pads. they may need a bit of a tap to get them loose but if they are as worn as mine they will fall out.

Ensure you support the caliper so as you don't stretch the brake lines

Leave the inboard pad in place and using a good G Clamp wind the piston back in to caliper body. Make sure you take the top of the fluid reservoir to allow for the piston going back in, once its back take out the old inboard pad and give the piston a good clean out, dry clean cloth, or back clean..

Offer the new pads up into the caliper guide and offer the whole assembly onto to caliper. Replace the caliper pins and tighten then up, replacing the plastic bungs

re attach the caliper to the suspension leg and re tighten the 13 MIL Caliper bolts

replace the road wheel and lower car to ground.. re tighten wheel bolts

road test, take it easy on the brakes till the pads bed in

there now go and clean you hands and show your son just how bad his brakes were..

thanks
