Straight forward mate wheel off, calliper off, pads out, wind back tool needed to press the piston back or I've heard it can be done with a screwdriver. Then disc off and reverse the process.

This may be a dumb question, what way to wind back piston clock or anti-clock?

Third that, buy the windback tool, so much easier with it.
