this is easy to do if you have even the slightest mechanical capability. jack the car up, remove wheel, prop car on axle stands for safety.remove dust cover(rubber), on the rear of the caliper,there are two, one above the other. undo the bolts which are under the covers,usually allen or torx bolts. force the pistons back into the caliper by positioning a flat bladed screwdriver between the pad and the disc and levering sideways.then slide the spring retaining clip out, remove pads and insert new ones. if too tight,remove bolts you previously loosened and pull caliper off wheel.using large grips, squeeze pistons fully back into caliper and replace on wheel. pads should now fit. replace pins, springs and bolts in reverse order of removal.if this sounds too much for you,then for safety take car to a reputable garage.How do i change my brake pads is this easy any one got any web links on how to do this?
Why not just go to your local car accessory shop and get a workshop manual (Haynes are the best) which will give you easy step-by-step instructions with pictures.
The library is good place to look too.
Cars vary, buy a haynes manual for your car from a car accessory shop.

Leave this job to the experts and it will save your life and others.

By the time you have bought a ';Haynes'; manual and a set of brake pads you could have had the job done by a local mechanic and be safe.

If you have to ask this question you should not be even thinking of doing the job in the first place !

No mention of removing the brake master cylinder cap to stop corrosive brake fluid spraying out when you push the pistons back and no mention of ';pumping up the pedal'; when the job is finished to stop you driving off with no brakes at all !!

and ';bedding'; the brakes in gently until you get some ';bite'; from them.
