you have to slide the pads out of that holder thing sideways. The clips kinda make it hard to do. Or if you unbolt that thing that hold them in with the two bolt they'll be easier to get out. Sorry for not being very technical.

Not to sound too harsh, but if you cant get the pads off you should NOT be doing this by yourself. at least get a manual it will have step by step instructions. Brakes are something that are easy to do but do it wrong and someone can be killed!
