Very simple instructions:

Jack up the car
Take wheel off.
Unscrew thing that holds break line in place (b/ car and caliper) NO NEED TO DISCONECT this
Unscrew Whole break caliper (not rotor)
|_-> 2 big bolts behind the rotor (x4breaks), VERY TOUGH, will probably need to lever the wrench
Rest Caliper on a paint can or watever makes you sleep better
Then just push/force the pads inward. (x2 per caliper x4calipers)
Push/force in new pads and repeat this steps backwards

pm me if you need more help.
