Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel; before proceeding with the disassembly, clean the caliper and hub with a wire brush. Then extract the locking pin of the lower pin and, using a suitable punch, remove the locking bar of the pads.

Leverage with a screwdriver between the pads to create enough space to extract them; unclip the spring and remove the pads. To retract the caliper piston, rotate it clockwise: at the centre of the piston, there is a notch where you can insert a screwdriver transversely to leverage and rotate it. It is actually suggested to remove the caliper for easier access.

Then insert the new pads and secure them with the respective springs and finally the lower bar, to which a new locking pin should be applied.
