Brake pad change Honda SH300

[Adam80UK]

Hi can't find any info online or a workshop manual.

I need to change brake pads and I believe the SH300i has linked brakes (though I'm not 100% sure) does this effect how pads are changed?

To fit new pads, would I still work the pistons open with a screwdriver between the old pads?

Thanks

According to this data sheet there are three pistons in the front caliper and a single piston in the rear

If you are unable to push the pistons back into the caliper body,I use one of these

Make sure that the pistons are clean before you attempt to push them back into the caliper body,otherwise the seals may well get damaged by the corrosion or dirt buildup.

For just changing pads there's no difference to doing it on a normal non linked bike, you're not bleeding it or whatever which is where it gets different.
