You'll need a 3/8" hex drive (allan key) and a C-Clamp (something that can compress the brake piston)
After you jack the front wheel and remove it, use the 3/8" hex drive to remove the brake caliper from the brake rotor. The bolt/screw that you need to get access to for you to do this is located on the inboard side of the brake caliper. Turn it all the way out and you'll notice that the brake caliper is now a little bit loose and can be pry'd off the brake rotor.
Remove the brake rotor from the axle and install the new clean one. (Wipe the oil or grease away from the rotor)
Pry the Pads off of the caliper with a screwdriver or something like that.
Use a "C"-clamp and push the brake piston all the way back to the retracted posistion.
Install the new brake pads and then install the brake caliper on the rotor.
Tighten the 3/8" Hex drive bolt/screw
Install your wheel and start your vehicle and pump your brakes a few times as it will feel "Spongy" for a few pumps. The brake pedal will become more responsive.
Wouldn't hurt to check your brake fluid level. Use appropiate fluid.
