I suggest doing this 1 wheel at a time, so you dont accidentally blow out a caliper by compressing the opposite one. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels, then unbolt caliper from its mount. Unbolt caliper mounting bracket. Should be 2 Phillips head screws holding therotor on, you will most likely need a "impact driver" you should be able to rent one. Remove screws, remove rotor. Be sure to clean your new rotors with brake cleaner to get the anti-rusting agent of of the braking surface. Reverse for install. You will also need abig pair of Channel-Lock pliers or a c-clamp to compress the caliper in (slowly) so it will fit over the new pads. Lube all caliper slides and clean all surfaces where the pads ride to assure smooth operation. When all done, be sure to slowly pump the brake pedal until hard to reseat the calipers to the pads, otherwise you wont have brakes for the first few pumps when you drive away(scary)
