Take wheel off, unscrew two bolts behind calliper, remove caliper, pads slip out and put new ones in, replace calliper and bolts.

Simply as that really.

How easy is it to completely take the caliper off so that you can paint it. Also I've not got a trolley jack or axel stands so can only do 1 wheel at a time, Am I going to be able to do them all in a day bearing in mind that one has to dry before I can put the wheel on and jack the other side up?

thanks in advance.

I'd recommend you go and borrow a trolley jack and axel stands off a mate. The standard Honda jack is only designed to for a quick wheel change and working under the car on the standard jack is could be highly dangerous It's for your own safety mate!

Yeah! at least a trolley jack and preferably axle stands aswell. Did mine one side at a time on a trolley jack.

Another hint:- In this weather, don't do it on a soft tarmac drive way!
