This evening.. :)

I procrastinated as usual. I don't have the right tool for those dinky pins.

Bike is still pretty much ridable, so I'll be coming to you.

you need a little screw driver for the pin, or a fork or something along those lines,

On the Suzuki, not the Honda.

Never done it before on a bike, thought it looks very simple. What I really wanted was a second set of eyes. And maybe someone with some tools.

Put the pads back in the right order - calliper | pad | disc | pad | calliper. In my experience it works better.
