Default Any good online documentation for changing the front pads?

I already bought my new front brake pads for the 954RR but am a bit nervous to do the actual work. Any good online documentation out there for how to do the job? I don't consider myself too mechanically inclined and since it's a huge safety component on the bike don't want to screw it up. Thanks guys!

Download the manual. When i first did them, i did it the hard way. the manual shows the easy way. takes 15 minutes tops.

Thank you. I did download the manual for our bikes a couple weeks ago and I will reference that. I appreciate the tip!

i youtube'd how to change brake pads on a bike, it was good.

also, take a soapy toothbrush to your brake pistons in the caliper to clean off some of the road grime on them. they should all move together evenly when you apply brake pressure, and unless you've cleaned them a bunch of times - they probably don't.
