I did front and rear pad replacement on my F10. Front pads are very straight forward, and the rear pads are pretty easy also, if you follow the directions about removing the actuator cover, and turning the spline CLOCKWISE.
One mishap I had was that I engaged the EMF parking brake after I removed the caliper...foolishly, I thought that if I engaged and then disengaged, the piston would pull back. Well, that doesn't happen. What does occur is that when the EMF brake is engaged (when the caliper is off the rotor), the piston will extend to full extension. You can still turn the spline to back it off to install the pads, but it is a hassle.
When i finished, I couldn't reset the EMF brake, and got a Parking Brake fault message...my indy was able to reset via the computer, so that saved me. I assume the fact that I let the piston extend had something to do with the fault message, and why the EMF wouldn't reset.
