Loosen the bolts securing the affected front wheel, lift the car with a jack, and completely unscrew the aforementioned bolts to remove the wheel. Using a 17 mm and a 13 mm spanner, detach the pin holding the brake caliper with the pads to the disc.

Insert them and work backwards until fully reassembled. Repeat the process on the other front wheel.
