take off the outer rotor (there may be a center-nut holding it on...) and then go from there. don't you have an owner's manual or some kind of maintanence book? it would tell you in there.

aside from that, make sure the e-brake is disengaged, remove the pads, replace the pads, maybe bleed the brakes for fun since you're down there, reassemble, drive car

It's pretty simple really. Just take the drum off and look how it's on. It would help to have one of those little bitty spring compressors. they're so cute. and one of those long things that puts the spring hooks back on. get a haynes
