It's a pretty straight forward install. Take the wheels off. Take the calipers off. Press the pistons in with a C-Clamp or similar. Install the new pads in reverse order, etc. Remove some brake fluid from the front brake reservoir so it does not overflow. And don't turn the ignition key on or press the brake peddle while you have anything disassembled.
Press on the brake peddle several times with the key off when you're done before starting the Spyder. This will push the pads up against the rotors and keep you from getting a brake failure warning. Top off the reservoir and you should be good to go.

This is not new.
I would mention. Remove the reservoir cover and suck a bit out. When you depress the pistons it will fill it up.
If that fluid spills its really nasty stuff and great paint stripper as well.
Prior to pushing them back I would clean up the pistons. Old toothbrush and Brake Clean works very well.
Dont get it in your eye, work sensibally with the brush.
If you wish pump the pistons out completely. You may have to grab them and pull them out for the last bit.
Dont scratch them!
Then reassemble after lubing with that Red Rubber Grease or whatever you have up there.
Why not do a fluid change while your there and have the tools out.
