Just did mine for the first time last weekend. Here is a great article.

It is literally 4 bolts. 2 for the caliper and 2 for the caliper cradle or anchor. You will need a C-clamp to push the caliper piston back to make room for the new thicker pads.
There mention 2 brake pads for parts needed, that was a typo you will need four and they didn't mention that you should remove the rubber boot that secures the caliper cradle slider bolts/pins on each end and coat them with anti-seize lubricant, then replace boot.
The two bolts that hold the caliper in place, tighten into these bolts/pins that I'm referring to. This keeps the pins from sticking and wearing out just one pad. Helps the caliper float so both pads wear evenly.
There was no mention of using a wire brush to remove dirt/rust in the cradle where the pad ends sit (pad ears) and then putting anti-seize lubricant where the pad ends sit in the cradle. This would help them move back and forth when the brakes are applied and released.
