if you need laymans' terms you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself - brakes are fairly important and if you do something wrong it can be very dangerous. i'd suggest taking the car to a professional mechanic or garage to get the brake pads replaced

You can't do the job safely because you don't have any jack stands and a breaker bar to loosen the caliper bolts with.
