Changing brake pads

Need help finding some step by step instructions for changing the brake pads on a

1997 Honda Accord sedan, preferrably with pics. Thanks

its really easy, you really cant mess it up.

i actually bought the 20.00 piston compressor tool, but a c-clamp and one of the old brake pads works too.

also, on the rear piston needs to be "screwed" back in, you can get that tool, or use a large screwdriver, or ive seen people use pry-bars
