You need a 7mm Allen Key & A piston rewind tool for the rears. Easy Job

As the guide remove the calliper 2 x 7mm Allen Key bolts, remove the calliper carrier.

Undo screw on disc to hub, can be a pain, soak in wd40 for a bit, but easily drilled out if that fails. The wheel nuts hold the discs solid with the calliper holding it in place also.

Remove old discs.

Fit new discs and pads.

I used the guide and did my whole car, discs and pads from it and never tackled brakes before. A pad change now takes 40 minutes.
