You will prob need a new spring as well, and maybe pins, these are just a few quid in halfords.

shows how to, (plus the handbrake your not interested in)


iirc its basically

Wheel off,
push the pins through,
get the pads out
open bleed nipple, and force calipers open, close nipple
put in new pads
put in anti rattle spring and pins
I would probably now bleed the brakes too while I am there
Wheel back on.

Thanks Jimbob. I have a single trolley jack....what is the best (safest) place to put it on the underside of the car?.

around the bolt for the subframe bush works well...

hope you have an axle stand too....or put something (like the wheel yovue taken off) under the car to prevent a crushing fall.
