It isn't hard to change a set of pads.......1.Block the tires with a piece of wood(heavy and strong)2.Loosen the lug nuts(don't take them off yet)3.Open the hood.4.Remove the master cylinder cap and wrap a rag around it(for overflow)5.Jack the truck up and finish removing the lugnuts and take the tire off.6.Look behind the caliper(brake pad holder) to see what size the bolts or allen bolts are and get the right size wrench or socket.7.Remove the bolts and the caliper.8.remove the old brake pads and put the new ones in.9.Put the caliper back in and bolt it in. Do this for however many pads you are replacing,and DO NOT,I REPEAT DO NOT PUMP THE BRAKES until you have finished replacing the pads and put the master cylinder cap BACK ON! See how easy that was?!!
There is no place on the web that will give you this information free. Your best bet is to buy a repair manual, they are not expensive and they will tell you anything you need to know.
