Don't have a how-to article, but it's super easy: just pop 'em out and pop the new ones in. You ARE gonna use EBC sintered HH pads, right? They're infinitely better than the OE crappy pads.

Also, the whole caliper does NOT come off right? I just pull the pin, and drop the pads out?
Or do i have to remove the caliper from the rotor?

its best to remove the caliper so you can clean out the area near the piston
push the piston out SLIGHTLY using the brake pedal and clean the area aroud it and apply a smear of synthetic brake piston lube to keep out corrosion
push the piston back in with a large screwdriver; don't scratch it
or just pull the pads, replace and go

Done and done. Not very hard at all. Thanks every one!
Is the noise you mention a sort of vibrating sound when applying the brakes??? I replaced my front pads and when pulling on the brakes a kind of buzzing noise can be heard. I did not put lube on the back of the pads, never have in the past but have never experienced this noise before either.
