Cool

It is easy as 1-2-3. you need two things. 7mm Alan wrench, which you have to buy separetly because they usually don't include it in the tool kit. Especially in USA. Other thing you need a "C" clamp to push the Brake piston because new pads are thicker and you wont be able to insert them on the disc.

Be sure not to be hard on your new pads for about 500 miles, also you need to bed the pads for the best stopping performance.
