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.
