Losen your lug nuts on both front tires and jack up the front end. You need to remove the calipers (the piece that holding the brake pads) Two bolts behind the caliper. Pop the the brake pads off and depress the brakes ( you will need a clamp to depress it) Put on the new brake pads. Tools needed : clamp, flat head screww driver, soket set, brake cleaner
Depending on the quality of pad used you may get some noise from the brakes mainly squeaks. Grinding or chattering is unusual though. Id take it back to the place that installed the pads/shoes and have them check it out again. Do you get a vibration while braking?
use a screwdriver and pry the piston back into the caliper until it stops then the caliper will come off easily you can pry against the old pads as you are changing them anyway
