I suggest purchasing an inexpensive shop manual (Chilton, or similar)- they normally have a step by step procedure written up, along with pictures. You can buy the manuals at all/ most automotive parts shops. Do you know someone that has experience working on later model cars, ask for help, because there are items that the manual will not detail and will only be learnt with some experience. Something to think about/consider- brakes are the type of thing that you want to "know" what you are doing, do the research and have a very good idea of what you are doing- the safety of a vehicle depends on it.
