2000 626 brake pad installation

Looking at my 626 it's ready for some new pads. Does anyone know the installation procedure for putting in new pads? I've replaced brake pads on a volvo before and it was fairly straightforward. Couple of pins take out the pad holder and off come the pads. push the caliper back in and put the new ones.

Thanks,

youll need a 7mm allen wrench/socket, something to push the caliper back in, and 17mm wrench if you want take the caliper bracket off for rotor machining. if you did a set on your vulva this should be nothing different for you. just watch where all your springs and shims go...

i have the caliper pushed back but am getting stuck on the 7mm wrench socket. I'll have to get one of those.
