It's not hard on a 95, (pretty sure it's the same as a 98). The calipers are held on with 2 bolts from the back. Then the pads are clipped into the caliper. Make sure you have a large C-clamp or something of the sort to press the piston back into the caliper. Without pressing the piston back in, you won't be able to get the caliper (with the new pads installed) back over the rotor. Overall, it's an easy job.

Very easy, and make sure to wrap a towel around the master cylinder, when you go to compress the calipers like Stephen said you will have excess fluid flow out and the rag will prevent it from flowing all over your engine. And make sure to buy the blue 'no squeal' stuff
