None that I know of.
It is not a difficult job if the wheel comes off easily
Remove wheel
Take photo of brake showing where the springs hook in.
Undo the nuts / bolts at either end of the caliper
DO NOT TOUCH THE MIDDLE ONE ( yes I was yelling )
Pull the caliper off & detach the spring & control rod ,
Note there is a shim between the front pad & the activation pins in the caliper
Take photo of disc because some are handed
Slide the disc off the splined shaft ( might be rusted in place )
remove pad behind disc which may also have a shim behind it .
wire brush the spline lubricate it with some dry white lithium spray grease
remove the 2 pins from the caliper & clean them & their holes and lube as above
Replace disc & caliper with new pad in it

These are steel bolts going into aluminum.
Be careful on the front one. If it twists off you will be depressed.
They are not user friendly to remove AFTER THEY TWIST OFF.
May have to just operate the machine without any brakes.
Antisieze is a good thing when going back with the bolts
I've made them brake pucks from old automotive disc brake pads.
