If you're in critical need of new pads, Haynes will work just as well as the FSM to tell you how to change them. It has a lots of pictures, too. I got one to compliment my FSM because it's geared more towards shadetree mechanics, and it's only $15.
Brake pad jobs work pretty much the same on any car. For more SE-R-specific work, don't hesitate to get the FSM. It's as an important tool to have as a breaker bar or socket ratchet.
Pads are not hard to change, and removing a few more bolts lets you get the rotors off. Just have the minimum of tools on hand, follow the directions, and you won't monkey it up.
SE-R.net can help with the brake bleeding order.
