ive just done all the brakes on my tp i think its the same as the tn. i used a big pair of pliers
and made sure i didnt grip the rubber boot and a size 12 open end spanner for the other side,and i took the caliper off the line so it screwed in easyer.but then i had to bleed the brakes but thats not hard and it's probably a good idea to bleed them every time u swap the pad, cos then they'll always work properly. any other questions just ask and ill tell ya what i did :D and before i forget when u screw them in remeber the edge of the cly has a spot for a tab on the pads to fit into so make sure thats centered. i just screwed it as for as it would go made sure it was centred and used the spanner to line up the hand brake plate(if u spin it one way it pushes the cly out but if u spin it the other way u can keep turning it till it lines up with the plate and wont pull the cly any more just keeps spining)
