Dean's write-up (linked in Gator's post) is pretty good. Except for maybe some wrench/socket sizes.
Pay really good attention to the position of the anti-rattle springs on the front calipers before you take them off. It's possible to put them in wrong (hooked over the wrong side of the tabs on the caliper bracket). Then they push the calipers away from the rotors, and your pedal will go right to the floor. You'll have to pump the pedal every time you use the brakes, so make sure you test-drive it somewhere that you won't get in trouble.
When you push the caliper pistons in to make room for the new thicker pads, fluid will push back into the reservoir. Make sure there's room so it doesn't overflow.
