Jack up truck , put stands under it for safety and then pull the wheels off . Use a short pry bar to squeeze the piston on the brake caliper in a bit . Then remove the two hex head bolts that hold the caliper in place .Lift the caliper off the rotor and remove the old pads . Use a bigger C- clamp to compress the caliper piston in all the way so you have room for the new pads to slide back over the rotor .Put caliper back on and your ready to go .Once you have done both sides and have the wheels back on , pump the brake pedal to push out the piston on the caliper .
