Hi,

Front brake pads and rotors aren't too hard to replace. You can expect them to last for about 25,000 miles. However, that is based on driving habits.

First, here is a link that shows in general how they are replaced. You can use this as a guide.

Here are directions specific to your vehicle. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
