Jack the front up.
Take the wheels off
if you look at the back of the caliper there are two bolts.
undo them both and take them out.
Get a metel coat hanger and wrap it around the caliper and a coil of the spring so the caliper doesnt pull on the brake line.
undo the torx bit holding the disc on.
remove the disc and replace with new.
When putting the pads back. use an old pad to push the piston as far back as possible.
Edit:
woops too slow!
once you have done this put the new pads in then bolt it all back up again.
its good practice to bleed you system aswell so just watch a few you tube videos of it and get a mate to help!
Im pretty sure this is right and i havnt missed any thing. but im sure some one will correct me.
