You need to undo the 2 caliper bolts (enclosed in rubber boots) & they can be quite difficult to budge. Once you've got those out, lift off the caliper and secure it so you don't bend or stretch the brake hose. You'll then need to push in the piston to accomodate the new pads. I use a g-clamp for this.
HTH.
