First, make sure you have all the necessary tools such as a jack, socket wrench, and brake pad spreader. Next, remove the wheel and locate the brake caliper. Use a socket wrench to remove the caliper bolts and carefully remove the caliper.

Once the caliper is removed, take out the old brake pads and use a brake pad spreader to compress the caliper piston. Then, insert the new brake pads and secure the caliper back onto the rotor. Make sure to tighten the caliper bolts and reattach the wheel before testing the brakes.

Remember to be cautious and follow the specific instructions for your Ford S-Max model. It's always a good idea to consult a professional if you are not comfortable with performing this task yourself.
