Brake Pad replacement How To?

[backpacker6]

Pretty soon it's gonna be time for me to replace my front pads. I have an 08 MS3 w/20k on it. I'll probably go with Hawk HPS. I know that some of you have already done this procedure but I was curious as to why there isn't a How To on this yet. I have the service manual but those little black and white drawings are kind of hard to decipher.

I know that you have to unclip the spring on the caliper as part of the process but where is the bolt? I did the brakes on my previous car (Accord) with no problem, it was pretty easy, there was one bolt that held the caliper. What is this spring clip thing all about? I'm sure that's it's pretty easy too but I need a little guidance. I really don't want the dealership to work on it unless it's a last resort. Sorry to post up with this question but my search brought me no answers.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
