Jack up the front end
Remove the front wheels
Remove the two long 'pin' bolts holding the caliper to the bracket 1/2" socket
Remove the two large bolts holding the bracket to the steering knuckle 3/4"?
Remove the brake line banjo bolt and set aside 3/8"
Put the caliper in the boxes the loaded reman calipers came in
Good idea to replace or turn the rotors right here
Install the loaded caliper over the rotor and tighten down the bracket to knuckle bolts till they're around 50-80 ft lbs
Refit the brake line to the caliper with new copper washers
Bleed the brake system
Attach the wheels
Lower the car
Bed in the new pads and or rotors with a test drive

If you have never replaced brake calipers or done any type of brake related work before. My suggestion to you is take it to a professional mechanic. Your brakes are the only thing standing between you and a very serious accident or fatality. I have seen the aftermath of poor workmanship all too many times. The end result is not very pretty. Or have someone that is experienced show you the right way to do the job. Good Luck
