Should be more or less like car brakes. Got a Haynes manual?

Probably a bit easier if anything, what with flexible brake hose and all. Certainly easier to get at

The pistons sometimes need a little assistance to go back in. A G-clamp works ok or lever them back with an old screwdriver or something before you take the old pads out.

Watch out for anti-squeal spring plates behind/under the pads (don't know if yours has them or not). Not always obvious how they go back in if you didn't see them before they fell out.

yep should be fairly straight forward, use a bit of copper grease on the backs of the pads when you put them in.
