All easy enough. The bare bones are:

Fronts just undo the 2 calliper slide bolts 14mm?, whilst holding the pins with a 2nd spanner, 17mm?.
lift calliper off, swap the pads over, and refit the calliper and retighten the bolts.

Rears calliper is fixed, pads a held in by 2 pins and a spring clip. Just drift the pins out, pull the pads, 
rewind the pistons, refit pads, clip and pins.

Obviously missed a few steps, such as cleaning all the crap off the callipers, copper slip on the back of the pads etc.

HTH, Al Thumbs Up!

easy way to compress the cylinder piston back is with a G-Clamp, gently tightened - BUT you MUST undo bleed nipple otherwise the seal could be damaged...

Not so easy on the rears, but you can still use the G-Clamp to press the pistons back again with the bleed nipples open...
