First there will be little metal things that are bent up againts the bolts on the side of the caliper that hold the pads in. Pry back the metal things, take out the two bolts, then on the other side there are two bolts that hold the caliper to the swingarm. Take those out, take out the pads, clean up the inside of the caliper, grease the bolts that held it in, then take a c clamp and slowly push the piston back into the caliper, then put the pads in and bolt it back up. Im out of breath now.:p
