A repair manual is a great investment;) And there are two pads on each caliper.

Short version...

Bend back the lock plate on the caliper, it holds the slider pins
Loosen but do not remove the slider pins
Remove the caliper, 2 bolts
Pry back the caliper piston
Remove the slider pins & pads. Note the location of the shim on the piston side. There's a 'spring' in there too but it's not a coil type spring.
You may need to loosen the parking brake adjuster.
Clean everything real well and install new pads.
Reassemble & check fluid
