Brakes are pretty much brakes. There are minor differences here or there, but disc brakes are easy. If you'll spend 5 minutes searching the forum and/or Internet I'm sure you'll find a write up or two on a brake job. If you're unaware of the vehicle's service history you should consider flushing the brake fluid from all four corners as I'd imagine it's needed. Also, depending on the condition, you should consider swaping or rebuilding the calipers along with resurfacing or replacing the rotors and not just swapping the pads.

its not hard to do. look for 2 or 3 bolts on the caliper take them out pull the caliper off and remove the pads. simple as that. also i do agree one rotating the rotors or buying new ones. good luck and let us know how it turns out.
