1 Loosen off the lugnuts.
2 block the back wheels
3 place the jack under the crossmember and jack up the front end
4 finish removing the lugnuts
5 remove the wheels
6 loosten the retaining bolts for the calipers
7 remove the calipers(note how the pads are positioned)
8 check discs for any grooves or distortion.(if any detected replace rotors)
9 with old pads still in place, use either a c-clamp or large visegrips to compress the cylinder--- compress the cylinder until the piston is bottomed out.
10 swap old brake pads for new ones.
11 you took it apart, now put it backt together in the opposite order.
If these instructions are to hard to follow, bring it to an actual mechanic, so you don't kill yourself or somebody else while driving.
