Remove the cotter pin (3) from the pad retaining pin.
Force the calliper pistons back into their bores by forcing the old brake pads apart.
Withdraw the pad retaining pins (4) from the outside.
Remove the clip (1) from between the two calliper halves.

Note
Change pads that have a shiny or “vitrified” appearance.
Insert the new pads and clip (1). Slide in the pad retaining pin (4) and secure it in position with the cotter pin (3).
Operate the brake lever repeatedly so that the pads are firmly bedded in against the disc by the force of the brake fluid.

that the reservoir is level.
Unscrew the two crosshead screws (6) and remove the reservoir cover (5).
