1. jack car up and remove rims
2. remove upper bolt of the caliper
3. push the caliper down and remove old pads
4. use a big screwdriver and turn the caliper pistons clockwise (make sure the brake fluid reservoir is not overspilling)
5. spray some brake cleaner to clean out the caliper and rotor
6. apply some grease on the back of the pad
7. put pads in and push the caliper back into position
8. tighten up the upper bolt and u're done

FYI: if your rotors have a lot of grooves on them, u need to replace it or have it turned

Also make sure the caliper bolts slide in and out nice and easy. It is always a good idea to give them some grease too.
