Jack up the car, take of the wheel, engage parking brake.
Unscrew two bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket (from the inside usually), take the caliper off - be careful not to twist or break the brake line, remove old pads.
Replace brake sensor (if required), compress the piston in caliper, put in new pads, put hte caliper back on the rotor, tighten the bolts to spec, put the wheel on, lower the car. Torque the wheel lugs to spec.
Repeat for the other side, don't forget to correctly bed in the pads.
