   Find the brake caliper bolts, take them out, replace pads don’t forget to install the chims on the back of the pad or it will develop an annoying noise. WHen reinstalling the caliper if it won’t fit, make sure you push the brake caliper piston back in ( with a hammed wood handle not hammering but by putting pressure on it and pushit or squeezing it with channel lock pliers) Make sure the surface on the rotors is smooth, if not the vehicle wll shake when you use your brakes, you can take the rotors to a parts store and have them resurfaced for $20 a piece.

   ASE is dead on the money, but let me add that as far as bleeding the brakes, you won’t need to unless you have broken the line somewhere, and by merely installing new pads and rotors, you shouldn’t have to do that.
