The brakes are the most important thing on your car. If you are not able to do it right yourself, take it to a reputable mechanic. Dont play around with your safety.

Fronts: you'll pick to eliminate both brake caliper bolts, and eliminate the caliper. Compress the pistons with a c-clamp. deploy new pads. Re-carry mutually. replacing the front rotors is very problematical on those, so i does not attempt it until eventually they're completely shot. Rears: similar as above, yet rather of compacting the caliper with a c-clamp, you pick to "turn" it in with a huge screwdriver or pair of needle-nosed pliers spread aside.
