Its pretty simple, but you need a special tool, or it can be a pain in the ***.
The integra rear calipers have an integrated e-brake, so in order to get the piston back into the caliper housing, you need to push it in, and rotate it at the same time. There is a tool that does this, or you can try and use some pliers or something, but its pretty hard to do without it.

Assuming you have access to that tool, the steps and tools are as follows.
Tools:12mm socket or wrench (for caliper bolt)
14mm socket or wrench (caliper bracket bolts)
10mm socket (caliper cover, may not be there)
Caliper tool.

Step 1: with the wheel removed, remove the 2 12mm bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket

Step 2: remove the caliper from the bracket, and set it aside. Remove the old brake pads.

Step 3: Rotate the piston back into the caliper to make room for the new pads. Install the new pads.

Step 4: reinstall the caliper, and do the same for the other side. **note** always check the brake fluid level in the master before driving off, also, pump the pedal to make sure you have pressure.

**optional** If you plan to change the rotors too, continue these steps AFTER step 2 from above.

Once the caliper and old pads are removed, using the 14mm socket, unbolt the 2 bolts for the caliper bracket, and set it aside. Slide off the rotor, and reinstall the new one. Reinstall the bracket, then proceed to step 3 from above.

Also note, if the caliper cover is installed, remove the 3 10mm bolts that hold it on, and proceed to step 1
