Fronts are easy ....you'll need a big allen-key / hex socket to lift the caliper off though - I have a feeling it's about 12mm, but do a quick search to confirm

Rears aren't much harder, and there's an excellent guide on here somewhere - again, search bar in the top right corner. You will need to wind-back the rear pistons! Some say you can do this without a tool...I tried once and ended up walking to Halfords to go buy one to finish the job

Given you some duff info here - after checking Google, I found a thread from 7yrs ago on another forum (before they kicked everyone off) where I had this exact same feeling ....and subsequently found out it was 10mm
