Lift the vehicle using a hydraulic lift or suitable axle stands; then remove the front wheel and the lower fixing bolt of the brake caliper: this will allow you to rotate the caliper using the upper bolt as a hinge and enable the extraction of the pads.

Clean the caliper of dust residues and fit the new pads.

Use a C-clamp to retract the caliper piston and reposition it in its housing, tightening the relevant fixing bolt. Repeat the same operations on the other wheel and pay attention during the first braking.
