Yep, very easy.
Remove the wheel, swing the caliper out of the way and it should fall off in your hands. Change the pads while you're at it and happy stopping :wink:

From memory I think the caliper bolts are 17mm and might be fairly tight but like Cosmo said - its a very simple operation.

yeah, come to think of it you might be right. I think I used the 17 on the end of the 14 to get a longer lever arm.
