Don't worry too much, if you're careful use a clean flat bladed screwdriver.

I've just read it again. Am I right in thinking that it's saying to start with the 1mm gap, then push the pads apart to just a fraction more than the thickness of the disc?

Cool, I'll give that a try then. I need to fiddle with the brakes anyway (the calipers aren't centred on the discs, the front hose is routed wrongly, and I want to try switching the brake levers and gear shifters round on the bars).
