Im really not tec minded so hope I can be pointed in the right direction

Need to change the rear pads,apart from the obvious pins to take the pads out, and pushing pistons back in,do you have any tips to help out a novice

A mate helping is a good idea. Wire brush all the crap off the retaining pins, give em a squirt of WD40 type stuff. The E clips on the end of the pins can ping off into oblivion when you lever them off,a mate there with a rag making a safety net is agood idea.
Clean all the shit off the pins before re fitting use a bit of copper grease on the pins, keep all grease well away from new pads.
DONT try this w/out the help of some one who knows, its not complex,just fiddly

Also keep wd40 well away from the pads and disc too.
