Should be as simple as, or simpler than, the Ford. Siphon some brake fluid out of the master cylinder, lower bolt comes out, caliper swing up, old pads slide out, compress caliper piston, new pads slide in, caliper swings back down, top off brake fluid if necessary. Took me an hour the first time I did it and I am by no means the amateur wrench that some here are. Now I can do it in fifteen minutes.
