Honestly there are alot of steps to do this.A haynes or chiltons manual from your local auto store will walk you thru each step.I will list some things for you starting out.First you will need to jack the truck up.But you need to loosen your lugnuts so the wheel want spin trying to break them loose.Now jack up truck and place a jack stand on the frame each side behind the front wheels.I put them on the front axle for ease.Remove wheels and now you have access and truck supported safely.Removing the caliper is really easy has two bolts,plus you have to remove the brake line!You will need metric sized tools,and a C clamp to compress the caliper piston back in flat.There are just too many steps to list.So in short if you have never bleed brakes,you will need the proper tools to do this as well.IF this seems overwhelming in thought take it to a trusted shop and have them do it.You can save money if you buy your own parts and take them to the shop.Like brake pads,new calipers if needed due to wear.Sorry for so much just pointing out the obvious things because while easy in general if you do not have all the tools,jacks,and brake bleeder and a manual you might spend more money to try it yourself.
