1. remove wheel:


2. remove one of those screws...

...like this:


3. remove pad springs (there are two of them)




4. remove old pads
5. install new pads
6. now you most likely would need to pull back the caliper piston!



tips:
- when compressing the caliper piston you need to pull the cap off the brake fluid reservoir in the engine bay
- lubricate the inside of the pistons inside the rubber seal

7. assemble everything together (don't forget about those pad springs!)

hope that help a bit
