Hello, I have not yet needed to change the front brake disc, so I don't know for sure, but it looks like you will need to remove the caliper holder in order to remove the disc.
The sliding pins are the pins that you mount the caliper on they need to be able to move in and out freely, often they can be seized if water has gotten inside due to a split boot and then they corrode or if the grease gets old and turns hard they can get stuck. If you have stuck pins you can either get no braking performance or a dragging brake. So it's something to check at every brake service.
If they move freely you can remove them clean and regrease if you want, not a lot of grease (a lot may block the sliding action), just to lubricate it, also if there's any old grease in the holes that needs to be cleaned out. Ceramic grease, proper brake grease or silicone grease would be best, as universal grease may cause the rubber boots to deform. But when you remove the slide pins you can check the grease, if the grease looks clean, so if you touch it, (if it's smooth it's ok, if you feel dirt then replace) and the whole pin is coated I would leave it as it is.
Thanks,last question, some brake pads come with those metal clips for the back. I've ordered without the clips, there was no metal clips when l took the brake pads off, so bit confused if l need them or not?
Mine also did not have any metal clips when I removed the old ones, but the new ones did come with them, I tried to fit them but there is no space for them so I just installed the pads. The pads came with spring levers fitted to them and that pushes against the caliper to keep the pads in place so you don't need the clips.

Hello, front disc is also removable without removing caliper holder? Thanks.

make sure the slide pins do slide, not understanding that part at13:56 is it the rubber bit ??
