There are two types fitted to Saxos. To remove the pads, if you have Bendix, pull out the spring clip and tap out the square section retaining piece. Remove the anti-rattle springs and the pads can then be removed from the caliper. The other type of brakes are ATE. With those, a pin needs to be knocked out after removing a clip. Solid discs can be removed without disturbing the caliper. Vented discs need the caliper removed first. Probably a torx key.
