Typically... 4 pot calipers (or solid type calipers) have 2 pins on them holding in the pads. You basically pull those two pins, slide out pads, press pistons (on some types of calipers) and slide in new pads. Solid calipers are pretty easy.

As for the rear, there is a top and bottom slider on the caliper. One of those has a bolt (bottom I think) and the other doesn't. Unbolt that bolt. The caliper should now be able to swing open exposing the pads. Replace, press in the piston, and put everything back together. That's basically it...

Oh yeah... and bleed the system...
