Hi,
Replacing the brake pads isn't too hard to do. Usually, one can expect them to last around 25,000 miles, but that is based on the driver and how the brakes are used.
As far as replacement, here is a link that explains in general how to replace them. You can use this as a guide.

put down the caliper body by loosening the guided rod bolt.
Tightening torque :
21.6 - 31.4 N.m (2.2 - 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft)
Remove the pad return spring (A).

Technicians should be careful not to deform pad return springs.
When pad return springs are deformed, it may cause improper braking, more fuel consumption.
Remove the brake pad.

Install the pad return spring (A).
pic 11
Pad return springs must be replaced with new ones whenever pads are replaced.
Technicians should be careful not to deform pad return springs.
When pad return springs are deformed, it may cause improper braking, more fuel consumption.
Use a SST (09581-2T100) when installing the brake caliper assembly.
pic 12
Connect an air hose (B) to the SST after confirming that the valve of the SST is surely closed.
Input the SST in the caliper and press the caliper piston while opening the valve of the SST slowly couter clock wise.
Close the valve (A) of the SST and disconnect the air hose (B); then, open the valve again to get the rest of air out and remove the SST from the caliper.
Install the caliper body (A) then tighten the guide rod bolt (B).
Tightening torque :
21.6 - 31.4 N.m (2.2 - 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft)
pic 13
Install the brake hose mounting bolt with the brake hose bracket at the shock absorber.
Tightening torque :
8.8 - 13.7 N.m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf.m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb-ft)
