Seriously, buy a haynes. It will give you an idea what tools you need, and hopefully help you not kill yourself.

if you grease the brake disks once you've fitted new pads  they'lllast longer and you will go round corners faster

If you was proper hardcore you'd have suggested taking the brake discs off all-together for weight savingz.

Tools Required: 6mm allen key, 17mm wheel wrench, jack, posidrive screwdriver, wire brush, emery cloth, piston winder (optional), copper slip (not really a tool)

changing your brakes is really straightforward and i actually reckon you could do it with your eyes closed :tongue:
