Assuming the 4x4 brake setup is the same as a 4x2:

You'll need pads, 7mm hex to remove caliper pins, a large screw driver, and
a 4-6" throat c-clamp.

1) jack and support truck, remove wheel
2) using 7mm hex, remove 2 caliper pins
3) using screwdriver, pry caliper up and off caliper mount
4) using screwdriver, pry pads off caliper
5) push piston back using c-clamp

reverse procedure to reinstall

repeat on the other side

For a newbie, expect an hour. An experienced guy can do it in 1/2 hour or
so.
