Here are some pics that I took when I installed the carbotech brake pads on the front of my truck. Of course these directions will work for any kind of pad change you might want to do...If you need better pics just go to my pixagogo link and you'll see the full size ones there. Enjoy and I hope they help..
Very nice. Just the way I did it recently putting on the carbotech pads. Also installed the Crown Performance stainless steel brake lines at the same time. I took some pics but have not had the time to upload them.

Actually I won them at our Titan meet we had. GregV from Mossy Performance was the sponosor and donated them for our meet. I believe they run about $90 for a set. Check out Mossy Performance and see how much they are. If you buy them, you won't be disappointed, I and several others can personally vouch for that.
I've changed many brake pads on our Volvos and Maximas. I always use a large c-clamp to compress the calipers (to depress the pistons) before removing the bolts. This has always made removing the calipers much easier. Would this work on the Titan?

Yes. It will work. Most disc brakes are the same and can be compressed the same. Just make sure you dont "rush" it otherwise you can blow a seal in either the master cylinder or the booster. Depending on application. On the other hand awesome write up. Good pics. LOL'd at the filter pliers .

I don't see how you could get the clamp in there before you remove the caliper on the Titan.
You can clamp it on the inside of the rotor on the caliper and on the outside of the rotor on the pad itself, you can compress the caliper. Doing this while still the rotor is still on the car, will show you if your caliper sleeves/guides need to be greased when reinstalling them.
I think that people do not understand how simple of a task it is to change brake pads. I would never pay someone to do that, unles I broke both of my hads.
