No, to the best of my knowledge there isn't. But don't worry as this is a very straightforward procedure:
1. take wheel off
2. remove clips, springs and retainers
3. remove brake pads
4. open brake fluid reservoir (to release pressure)
5. find suitable tool
6. lever in brake cylinder pistons
7. close reservoir
8. apply some copper grease
9. fit pads, clips and sundries, etc and wheel
10. wash hands
11. drive off

Good luck!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi
Is there a way of changing the front disc pads without releasing the fluid pressure on the wheel cylinders or is this not a recommended practice
