If you have the right tools & good working space then its easy.

Very easy on the Brembo's.
Pull out the little spring clips from the retaining pins. Push out the first pin whilst pushing the anti-rattle spring to relieve friction. Push out the 2nd pin. push the pads apart slightly to give some 'wiggle' room. Pull out the pads along with the backing shims.
Brush out any brake dust and clean with brake cleaner. Lever the pistons into the caliper (watch the fluid level in the master cyl.) Put the shims on the new pads (arrow in direction of rotation) Insert pads with a little copper grease on the backing contact points. re-assemble spring and pins and replace the clips. Pump brake pedal to set the pads. can all be done with just a pair of pliers and screwdriver to lever the pistons back.

Just to add to that before starting remove the resovoir cap and put some rag round it as it may spill over when you push the pistons in
