Remove two caliper bolts (16mm). Remove caliper, rest on rotor/splash guard (do not rest on brake line). Open hood, open brake fluid reservoir. Use C clamp and old pad to slowly crank the caliper piston back into housing. (1/2 turn at a time) Apply 'disc brake quiet' between new pad and shim. Install new pads in caliper, replace caliper. Replace wheel, torque lugs. Close Brake fluid reservoir.

if you didnt bend it during removeal then it is fine to re-use it.
