easy job mate, make sure you have a rear caliper winding tool as the handbrake is in the caliper and the piston will need be wound back in but simple and easy job  :wink:

Rewind tool isn't expensive, worth the investment.  Make sure you've some pad left or the tool won't fit onto the caliper though, as I found out!  :grin:
