I would not attempt to change the pads in that way. You can either disconnect the battery or easier to unplug the large plug on the SBC pump, even if you start the engine up to change the lock, you can leave the plug out, the dash will go bright red, but that is ok, and is part of the training program on SBC.

Other than the above it is straight forward and conventional.

Changing the discs and pads won't make a blind bit of difference to the buzzing of the SBC unit. Its normal.
