No big deal John.
Remove the front wheel.
Use a punch or 16 penny nail to drive out the two retaining pins holding
the pads.
Lift the pads out.
Spread the cups enough to drop in the new pads.
PUT goopy disk brake stuff on back of your pads let it dry to prevent
brake squeal.
Drop in the new pads, align that spring devise and reinstall the pins.
It gets a little more complex if you need to turn the rotors but still
less that 2 hours turn around (other than trip to machine shop for rotor
turning).
