07 Yaris Front brake Pad Question

I have 240K (mostly highway) miles on my hatchback and it has never had the brake pads changed. I had tires replaced recently and asked the mechanic to look at the pads,... he said they were getting thin.

I have done many pad changes on various cars & motorcycles but not on the Yaris.
I usually compress the caliper with a screwdriver wedged between the pad and rotor for leverage. Is that method possible on this car? I just want to be sure I have necessary tools before I start. If a C-clamp is needed, will I need 3 0r 4 inch? Many Thanks.
