Refit caliper and wheel
Finally, slide the caliper back over the pads and fit the new bolts. The mounts for the caliper are sprung so you'll need to hold these back as you push it into place.
The old bolts were "tight" but not overtight, so i did them up to the same degree - i couldn't find the torque rating anywhere.
Fit wheel and repeat on the other side.
On the passenger side the inside pad has the brake wear indicator attached. To remove this just unclip it and take it out of the cable tidy - it's very easy to figure out when you see it.
Check the brake fluid level, start the engine, pump the brakes, check it again and top up/remove as necessary. Go careful with the braking for the 1st 200miles as the pads bed in.
Taadaaaa
