The process is pretty much the same for all vehciles. I've been refering people to this web site for Instructions on how to change brakes. Rob gives a good illustrations, and his web sit can be found here:

http://www.********.com/lessons/brakeshoes/brakeshoes01.shtml

Warning:
1. I would definitely recommend jack stands under a car, never do a brake job with just the car jack.

2. Always use a fixed size wrench, never use a cresent wrench as illustrated by Rob

3. Otherwise his instructions are pretty well written and can be found here.

Oh and he's replacing brake pads, not shoes as he has incorrectly called them from time to time. Shoe are for drum brakes, pads are for disk brakes.

Also it is recommended to get the rotor's thickness measured (to ensure they are not too thin) and resurfaced for best braking.

These instructions are of course for front brakes.
