The fronts are pretty simple. Pop out the pins, remove the caliper (14mm nut top & bottom), slide the pads out, reverse process. The torque specs I found on the forum for the caliper bolts were ~70ft/lbs.

For the rears you need a 13mm socket and 17mm open wrench for the caliper bolts, T-5 for the 2 screws on the parking brake bracket, and a T-45 to release the parking brake. The rears took me less time than the fronts simply because my front calipers didn't want to come off. A couple whacks with a rubber mallet fixed that. Torque to ~25 ft/lbs.

You'll have to remove the brake wear sensor from the front left and rear right calipers. Use a flat head screw driver to pop it off the caliper. Be careful as it's fragile & don't pull on the wires. It snaps back into the new pads.

After you replace all pads and get the car back on its tires, engage the parking brake to reset it. If not you may get a parking brake malfunction message pop up on your screen the 1st or second time you drive the vehicle. Engaging and releasing the parking brake fixes that. Then go out and properly bed the new pads.
