Front pads are really easy. Just disconnect the 17mm bolt on the bottom if the caliper and rotate the caliper upward and remove the pads. You will need a clamp of some sort to compress the piston all the way back before putting the caliper back. Rears are a bit more complicated but there is a thread on here explaining it somewhere. Make sure you give your brakes a good pump before driving, first pump will go right to the floor
