SOURCE: Replacing the front brake caliper on a 1999 Ford Escort
Very simple. Have the proper tools for one. Two...lay cardboard down because the brake dust will make some cruddy marks on the pavement. Three...are replacing the WHOL:E caliper or just replacing/resealing the piston?
Very simple to do, just make sure you block the rear wheels or front (depending on which one you are doing).
Unbolt the two carrier bolts, one upper and one lower. These are commonly hex head or "allen" head fastners. Next, have a small container under the hose you will be disconnecting. I hope you have some help to bleed.....you will need to do so. Get the extra brake fluid ahead of time....that's all you need to do really...and once you unblot and disconnect, the brake caliper should be sitting in your lap!

Yes, if you do not have the right tools it would be better to have it done by a mechanic.
In case you want to do this yourself you will need to:
1. With your lug wrench, loosen the lugnuts...just LOOSEN them do NOT remove them!
2. Jack the car up until the wheel is off the ground and brace the car with a jackstand...NEVER rely solely on the jack!
3. Remove the lug nuts and remove the wheel from the rotor.
4. Remove the caliper; this is done by removing the two bolts that hold it to the car.
5. Inspect the rotor, unless it has deep gouges in it you should not have to replace the rotor.
6. Remove the pads from the caliper and clean the caliper...do not use compressed air to clean the caliper...the brake dust will go everywhere and you will breathe it in and that is never a good thing! I use BrakeKleen to clean my calipers. The new pads will come with a small container of "grease", this is for the back of the pad where it contacts the caliper; it quiets brake noise....DO NOT PUT THIS STUFF ON THE PAD ITSELF!!!
7. With a C-Clamp, push the piston in the caliper into its housing...you have to do this; if you don't then when you try to install the caliper with the new pads, they won't fit!
8. Once the piston is pushed in, install the pads and place the caliper on the rotor.
9. Bolt the caliper back to its mount.
10. Put the wheel back on and install the lugnuts.
11. Remove the stand and lower the car to ground.
12. Repeat the sequence for the other wheel.

The pins / wedges just tap out use a scewdriver on the metal edge of the pin just tap it out to the rear and when putting them back in just tap them back in from the front. You will see they are diamond shape and metal cased around rubber very easy to do just take your time.
