It's a pretty standard DIY. Remove the bolts mounting the caliper to the bracket, remove caliper, remove pads, done.
EDIT: This pretty much applies to the rear brakes. Hope it helps! The only steps I'd add is greasing the slider pins and grease the back of the pads. A C-clamp works well for compressing your caliper. Also make sure to remove the cap of your master cylinder reservoir, and beware of the level rising and spilling over if it's close to the max level before you start. Dot 3/4 brake fluid and paint DO NOT get along!

Like others have said, fairly easy job. The two bolts to remove are the ones with the rubber protectors, you don't want to rip them when removing the bolt. Once those two are out, remove the caliper bracket and replace the pads. Make note of the pad orientation along with the clips on the pads. You don't need to take off the entire caliper unless you also want to change rotors. I'm going by memory here as its been about 6 months since I did it and the rotors, but it was pretty standard stuff.
