The backs of caliper have a 'lid' that you flip up and then undo the top and bottom bolts of the outer back shell. That lifts off and exposes the back of pads.
Use a screw driver to wedge the back ends of pads and force the piston down to get the pads loose.
pull out pads, clean areas,apply lots of brake pad paste to stop squeaks.
reassemble.
make sure rotors are OK. those are harder to replace.

do an archive search buddy.
