300SD Brake Pads

My brake wear light is coming on pretty often when I am stopped at a stop light, so I am thinking it may be time to replace the pads.

I know there must be at least 100 people here who have done this job... so, can one of you give me the basics? I hear it is easy, just would like some info to read first.

I have done only one pad replacement before, which was on a 2002 chevy prism, and which was aok no problems.

I've done a search on the forum and haven't found a step-by-step on replacing the pads. Can anyone point me to a thread or a link on the web appropriate to this type of breaks... even if it is a general guide which is suited to these types of brakes.

I understand they are four wheel disk breaks, which I think is different than the job I have done previous. Should I assume I will be replacing all four sets of pads?

Thanks for any help.
