Hello,

Replacing the front brake pads can be done easily with using basic hand tool on this vehicle.
Keep in mind anytime the brake pads get replaced, it is recommended to resurface the rotors (if they are within specification). If they are below minimum thickness, it will be required to replace the rotors as well.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
