    It's pretty straight forward as far as replacing the pads. This is like a perfect " first time working on a car" project. Um the only suggestion i have is you buying one of those impact screwdrivers. They will make your life a lot easier taking out the two little screws holing on the rotors. They are fairly cheap and well worth it.

    Oh also one more thing. Depending on some pads they sometimes tend to a little to big to fit back in the calipers (don't be alarmed its rare but it happens). So if you run into this problem take your time and asses the situation. If need be take a grinder to the pad. I know this sounds a little weird, but lots of mechanics do this so it's perfectly normal. If you don't want to deal with it or feel intimidated with taking a grinder to them then take them back and exchange them for a different set.
