buy yourself a haynes type manual,read it then read it again.if you have the tools and the ability only then have a go.if poss get someone with some knowledge of cars to help.like mm says safety first,if in doubt dont.

not so fast sd,you dont know what type or make of car,how can you give proper info???you not mention he needs to push or turn the piston in the caliper back,to make room for the new pads,and you not say remove the cap from the brake master cylider and check the brake fluid,the guys life depends on such info

Remove wheel. Remove brake caliper, remove brake pads from caliper. Fit new pads to caliper, refit brake caliper. Refit wheel. Do same other side. Done
