Its pretty easy about a 3 on a 1-10 scale, 1 being the easiest ! HArdest part is compressing the calipers to get them back on after you put new pads on !

Its very simple to change, if you are in there and your rotors are almost shot change them too because its only 2 more bolts. Its two bolts for the caliper pins. Compress the piston with the old pad and a c clamp. Theres these little metal clips that always get lost or stepped on.
I'd get the GM Ceramic pads since the dusting is almost non existant. I have the Axxiss Ultimates now and they dust HORRIBLE. my rims look charcoal
Good luck
