Re: brakes (drmiles)
Hey bro If I were you I would close that pole you created. That is a good way for you to get banned quickly.
As for brakes, no pretty straight forward. Just get a brake wrench ( they sell them at sears) and go to work.
Just take the wheel off, loosen the top of the brake caliper and slide it down. Remove the brake pad, re-install the new one. When you go to put the brake pad back in place either bleed the brakes, or get a c-clamp and get something flat preferrable the old brake pad and put it over the piston, twist the clamp and squish the piston back down and slide the caliper back in place and reinstall the bolt.

Re: brakes (f1nal zeros)
No offense to the guy above, but he has the gist of what to do, but really doesn't know.
First off, take your wheels off.
For the fronts: Get the bottom slider pin out, you only need the bottom one out (I believe it's a 14mm, could be 12mm tho.) Pull the caliper upwards and then just pull the other slider pin out while still intact with the caliper.
Next remove your pads with your hands, screwdirver, whatever wroks (try not to damage the pads/rotors). The biggest obstacle is next, you have 2 choices. 1: take out the metal shims and clean them + the area they rest on (they are THE biggest pain in the *** to get back in, so if it doesnt really need it...dont pull them off.) Or 2: just clean the clips on the caliper saddles.
Lube up all the brake pad contact points (where they meet the shims...this prevents squealing and insert them back into their respective slots. Insert the cliper pin+caliper back into the saddle boot and then reinsert the pin you took out earlier.
For the Rears: Almost the same procedure. Only difference is when you take the caliper off. You have to take out both of the pins, because the brake line wont allow the caliper to swing up. Also make sure you remove the brake like from the braket that holds in in place (its almost directly behind the rotor, you'll notice you wont be able to get the caliper off without getting it detached.) All the above are 12mm.
Same process as above, except the shims are not hard to put back on, so make the effort and clean the bottom side of the shims and where the shims rest on the saddle.
Be sure to have a buddy on deck to help you bleed the system. Tell him to pump the brake pedal, then hold it about 3/4 of the way down and open your caliper valve on...lets say the left front. Then close the valve and let the brake pedal come up. Do this about minimum 3 or 4 times (or until you see no more air is coming out of the valve). Then copy the process on each other caliper. And make sure to top up the brake fluid, hehe.
I know it sounds complicated, but it's the right way to do it...if you need any clarification let me know.

Theres more than one brake pad per caliper...

Re: brakes (khunt0012)
Bitch Bitch Bitch. 
I gave a rough idea on how to do it. Very easy as I have done it many times on my S.
Yes I know there are 2 pads per caliper, just gave the gist of it bro. You just did a more detailed walk through of what I just said,
Thansk for being my ***** and finishing my work.
Good luck on the brake pads.
