Default changing brake pads

I have searched high and low... I have to change my brakes pads by Saturday morning. Can someone send me the link to the thread on how to change the brake pads and bleed the lines without speedbleeders?

Thanks...

Brake bleeding is in the FAQ; if you don't have speedbleeders you'll need an assistant, but it's pretty easy. Changing the pads is even simpler (josh3io claims he can do all four corners in 20 minutes!). Remove the lower bolt on the inboard side of the caliper and then rotate the caliper up to expose the pads (which just pop in and out). To reset the pistons: the front pistons push back in directly; the rear pistons screw back in, so you'll probably want the special tool (available at most auto part stores) that attaches to your 3/8" ratchet. Change the pads before bleeding.
