If someone has done this please tell me how or if it is pretty self explanitory once you get the wheels off or maybe someone knows an easy way of doing it. I want to do it my self and I want to do it soon(my back brakes are squeeking)

Brake pads are like the next easiest thing to do besides rotating tires and changing oil. Pull the wheels off and there is your brake (duh) On the back side of the caliper there is 2 bolts with rubber bushing/gromet things between the bolt head and the caliper. Remove the bottom bolt, or both if you prefer... if only the bottom one, the caliper will swing up and your pads are right there... use one of the old pads and a crow bar to push the cylinder back in as far as it will go (takes a lil elbow grease). Slide the old pads out, and slide the new ones in, matching the old ones. After putting the new pads in, rotate the caliper back in place, grease up the bolt and put it back in. Repeat for the other side. If you dont understand this, e-mail me with any questions. Good luck.
