Remove them and there is a large hex bolt under it. Remove the 2 bolts and the caliper should pull off. Hang the caliper with a piece of wire and pull off the rotor. It might be a little rusty and need a little force (rubber mallet) but it will come off. Replace the rotor and put the new pads in. Replace the caliper an use brake cleaner to get everything clean before putting the wheels back on.

Shouldn't take more than an hour...have a search for proper break-in procedures so that you get the best performance out of your new brakes.

Just a quick tip to add on....

Have a C-clamp handy to open the caliper piston all the way. Some do it with their bare hands, I wasnt able to all. Just slide a peice of wood in it and tighten the clamp, it should "squish" the piston right down.

First time ever doing brakes took me 2 hours (on my sisters old golf). I can do the foucs in an hour now.
