Yes really easy job
Be ware that even tho it's on an 06 plate being a campus it's probably got the mk2 brakes.
Youll need a 7mm Allen key to do the calipers bolts
If its only the pads your changing all need to do is
Jack it up an support it
Remove wheels
Remove rubber bungs from end of caliper sliders
unclip wear indicator plug of fitted
Undo the 7mm bolt which also acts as the slider
move caliper out the way
swap pads over
carefully push piston back.( I tend to just put hammer handle into piston an then push against my shoulder)
clean up sliders
Rebuild
Tools needed should only be
Wheel brace
jack and axle stands
hammer, g clamp or similar to push piston back
7mm Allen key
Hope that helps
Front brake pads never need the tool to wind them back.
Only require rewind tool on rear calipers mate.
All a rewind tool does it make life bit easier pushing them back.
Rear brakes on the clio a **** lol
