VERY easy to do even if you have a slight bit of mechanical inclanation(sp).
Jack up the car
Remove the wheel
Pop the spring loose and set aside
On the backside of the caliper cradel remove the two BIG bolts (17mm I think)
Pull the whole assembly back
Remove the old pads
Compress the cylinder (use a C clamp or a compression tool from Th Ultimate Garage)
To remove the roter:
You will see a hex key just off center of the roter. Remove it
Take a small sledge hammer (3lbs will do) and rest a towel on the edge of the roter, Pop the roter on the towel to free it from the hub.
Install new roter and re-attache the hex screw
Treat the pads with anti squeal and re-install
Put the brake caliper assembly back on
Put spring back on
Put on wheel (duh)
Move to next wheel.
Pretty simple actually. I can do it in less than an hour.
Let me know if you have Q's
