   Sure, its just obv breaker bar to get wheel off, and jack to lift car.
   
   Then Just a Bigish flat head screwdriver to pop the pin off, (may need pilars also to pull off and get back on) then sure you have to loosen to screws which is Allen key Size 7 i think, as they hold pads tight. (Behind the Discs on the Caliper)
   
   Allen key is special 1, big packs never put 7 in as it common for calipers.. So they rip you off.. Make you buy it seperate.
   
   This is memory.. Maybe wrong, so would double check.. Did caliper + pads change on my MK1 like 2 months ago.. So can't remeaber.
