Default Brake Pad DIY

Can someone point me to a Brake Pad DIY? I have searched and came up with zip.

If anyone could do a quick write up that would be great too.

Is this something a novice can do?

I would like to get this done this weekend.

Thanks

FYI, I'd recommend letting some WD-40 soak on the lower bolt for about 20 minutes or so. I tried the front driver's side without doing it and it took me a while to get it off. I used the WD on the passenger's side, let it soak, and the bolt came loose with relatively little effort compared to the other side.

Don't forget that the back pistons are SCREWED back in, not pushed in like the fronts. Don't ask me how I know.
