It's actually a simple repair. Remove the wheels, remove the calipers, remove old pads, compress the pistons, install new pads, reinstall the calipers and wheels. Check the rotors for wear while you have it apart. You will most probably have to remove the rotors and take them in to get them resurfaced. Almost anyplace you can buy the pads can resurface the rotors.

Since you're asking the question you really need to buy a Haynes or a Chilton manual for your car which will provide step by step instructions and pictures. Well worth the $15.00.
