never had to do this yet,though seems straight forward enough,remove caliper from forks,looks like two pins hold pads in place undo these and pads should come out,push pistons in slightly then fit pads and pins,job done.
please bare in mind i have only quickly looked at my bike and comon sense should always be the order of the day,good luck.
good idea to clean every thing and make sure what needs to slide,slides.

did it yesterday, you are absolutly right, take out the two middle pins, were hard to remove, had to use an impact wrench, and change the pads, used some copper grease on the smooth part of the pins, showed already some corrosion there, works fine now, thanks, michael

Nopantsflyer, How many miles did you get from your pads and which ones did you replace them with?
Thanks, Ed
