simple....take of wheel.....
unscrew master cylinder
take a screwdriver and push the caliper piston back in. or should i say pry it in. make sure it is all the way flush or you are not going to get the new pads in. the insert hole is what they call the pad view finder. it is a hole on the caliper itself where you can see the rotor. understand that?
take off caliper
clean up all the dust and debris and rust where the pad ends are going to be resting on.
put some lube (comes with the pads) on the area you just cleaned
put metal shim on new pads (comes with new pads)
install the pads
tighten down caliper
put wheel on...tighten to 80ft lbs
check fluid but more then likely nothing came out
put master cylinder cap back on
pump up your brake until you get a pedal
put new pads in
i would suggest turning your old rotors but you didnt mention anything like that
