Get a manual - either the Honda maunual, or a Clymer or Haynes, for your bike... you NEED to have that anyway, for future work, and torque specifications for bolting things back together, which means you will need a torque wrench as well.
I'm not sure if there are tutorials for this on the site, but I'm willing to bet that if you search the F2 forum, you'll find something - get a manual, and/or do the forum search, that will save us having to explain every detail.
The truth is, if you have any mechanical inclination, and the proper tools, this job is very easy IF you have the tools and a manual.

+1 to JNS, Yeah you can get it done without the manual.
You can parachute without a back-up, nether is a really good idea.
First thing I buy after the bike...the manual(s).

Here's a link, as well...

Hope this helps, Ern

Leave the calipers mounted on the bike til you remove the pin plugs and loosen the pins. Its like having extra hands. Be careful not to strip the head of the plugs. They are flat blade screw driver heads and mine were tight as hell.

Pretty easy on the bike....the rear only have one caliper...try doing rear first. Yeah utube video help a lot. If you don't have a torque wrench, old saying is wrench it tight then add 1/4 turn. Harbor freight sells torque wrench for $20 but you still need the owners manual to obtain the exact load...
