Need Help Fast!!!!!

Ok guys im trying to change out my front brake pads and i took the tire off and took the caliper off and cant figure out how to get the pads off im guessing u have to have a star shaped tool to take out the 2 bolts that hold it in for it to glide back and forth on. Or am i just not seeing it right and its easy to do or something like that. OR does any one know of a link that showsw how to change the pads??? Sorry so sloppy just in a hurry..

The star shaped tool is called a torx bit. I believe you do need it. I cant rember to 6 month ago when i did mine.

There is a special latch (trigger mechanism) under the cab of the truck. But first you need to remove the engine and transmission in order to remove the cab. Good luck.
