I just did it on my 1994 van for first time, so can't be too much different.
open hood, open brake fluid caps
lift one side of front up, remove tire,
use a screwdriver or pry bar to move pads away from rotor (makes it easier to put new ones on)
on back of calipers, there were 2 bolts, same size, remove
lift caliper over and off rotor, (may need to remove 1 pad)
remove rotor (may be frozen, may have to loosen with a hammer
replace rotor
replace pads
replace bolts
replace tire
due over again on other side
Once done, do not drive off in car, pump brakes until pressure builds Test Test test to make sure you have brakes (No need to bleed)
tighten brake fluid caps
Enjoy saving about $125

go to the library please, its your best bet, the pads are easy to change but changing the rotors requires removing the caliper brackets.
