Siphon 2/3 of the brake fluid out of the master cylinder reservoir.
Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
Compress the caliper piston back into the caliper bore using a large pair of pliers, C-clamp or special caliper piston retracting tool.
Remove the caliper mounting bolts and sleeves.
Remove the caliper from the steering knuckle without disconnecting the brake hose. Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose. Support the caliper with a piece of wire.
Remove the outboard pad by pushing in on the outside edge of the pad to release the mounting dowel from the hole in the caliper. When both dowels are unseated, push the pad out the bottom of the caliper.
Remove the inboard pad from the caliper by pulling it out of the caliper.
To install:

Inspect the caliper for any signs of leakage. If the caliper is leaking, new Brake Pads will be damaged. Also inspect the condition of the caliper support for rust and corrosion which will hinder the travel on the caliper.
Inspect the caliper mounting hardware. New bolts are usually recommended. Clean all parts well. Lubricate the mounting bushings and sleeves with silicone grease as required.
Install the inboard pad in the caliper so the spring clip on the pad back engages in the caliper piston.

Install the outboard pad over the caliper end until the mounting dowels snap into the mounting holes in the caliper.
Install the caliper over the rotor onto the steering knuckle.
Install the mounting bolts and sleeves and torque to 38 ft. lbs. (51 Nm).
Install the tire and wheel assembly.
Pump the brake pedal several times to seat the pads against the rotor before attempting to move the vehicle.
Check the master cylinder level and add fluid as necessary.

First, you need to remove the tire. The brakes should be held onto the rotor by two bolts. Remove the two bolts(they are on found behind the brakes), and slide the whole unit off of the rotor. Pull the old pads off, and put the new ones in. If you have trouble sliding unit back on the rotor, open the brake fluid cap under the hood, and push the caliper back to give you room to slide the unit on the rotor. Tighten the bolts on the back of the pads, and you are good to go. It sounds difficult, but once you work on it, you’ll see how easy it is.
