pretty simple, take out the centre console (two screws/bolts under ash tray, couple more under gear gaitor, pull of handbrake rubber then pull the whole thing out)
the adjuster nuts/connectors for the cables are under the flap of carpet, 13mm nut iirc
undo those, then get under the car, wrench them from the clips under the fuel tank
pair of pliers to get get the lgs off the caliper arm
then drift the holder out of the caliper towards the front of the car. wd40 will probably be required to lend a helping hand.
refitting is reversal of removal.
things to note: my new ones had extra tubing over the top of the cable case, which meant it wouldn't fit in the clips under tha tank, so i trimmed them ack a bit with a snanley knife then zip tied them in to make sure they wouldn't fall out.
also, old cables can just be cut with some hence wire cutters if you cba to pull them out of the calipers. probably equally easy tho
id say put the new pads in after you take the old cable off, and before you put the new one on, then its not gunna be pulling the pistons in. also means you can adjust it for the new pads, not for the old ones and saves you doing it twice
hope thats not too garbled...
