The parking brake cable goes to a lever on the caliper. Unscrew the parking brake adjuster bolt that goes through that lever #10
--With a screw driver, spread the brake pads apart to push the piston back into the caliper. (you might have to remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder).
--Remove the 2 bolts #13 and the pads fall out the bottom.
--Install the new pads and the 2 bolts.
--Pump the brake pedal to push the piston out and seat the pads.
--Top off the master cylinder.
--Tighten the parking brake adjuster bolt until it touches and back it out a little (so the parking brake isn't activated).
--Fine tune the parking brake with the cable adjusters.

This is for everyone - anyone attempting to work on their own machine should own a shop manual. Why trust answers you get from strangers on message boards. Would you rather invest $40 for the correct information, or take a chance and make a $500 mistake?
