It's usually a fairly simple job.
Not sure if you will need a re-wind tool for the rear caliper pistons or they just push in. But you can usually makeshift one yourself.
You may need to adjust the hand break once you've changed the pads.
Hardest part really is if anything is seized up.
I would have plenty of brake cleaner, WD40 and a few old cloths to hand to clean everything up.
Right, I've had the wheel off and taken out the 2 bolts, but everything just looks linked together, I can't see how it comes apart, I may need to go to specsavers :lol:

Seriously, if you can't figure it out, please pay a mechanic to do it. There's no need to gamble with your daughters life, brake jobs are very serious!
Haynes manual reminds you to use new bolts to the specified torque on refitting - also to ensure that the pad with the wear sensor is fitted on the inside of the brake disc and the sensor is at the bottom of the pad.

They have whats called an Audio wear indicator,there's a piece of metal built into the friction material so that when it wears to a certain thickness it makes contact with the disc to give a loud Audio noise..
Ignore it and i guess you wear a groove in your disc....
