Simple shut off your main power suply to the house. Witch is a gray box out side betwen the house and the road. And remember always treat electric as if it were live weather or not it is.

Turn off the main circuit breaker which is the largest on, sometimes it is on the bottom, sometimes it is on the top, it might be labeled with 100 or 200. This of course will put you in the dark, so do it during the day.
Then follow lugwrench3 instructions.
Slim Whitman: white wires do not go in the circuit breakers.
Also, check your grammer, it looks like you tried to re-write it and half way through you thought you were done.

Best practice if you've not done it before would be to contact an electrician.. Better safe and out $100 then dead and cheap.
Make a note of the wire locations on the existing breaker. Have some way to illuminate the panel so you can see after you--- Turn off the main panel!!
Turn off the power to the main before touching any wires. make sure of your service panel brand and size of breaker, get a new one of the model at your local supply house, and red to where red was, black to where black was and white to where white was.
make sure all connections are tight place the breaker (and off) in the bus and turn on the main... Then turn on the breaker and check the circuit.
In my humble opinion panel electricity is not something amateurs should muck with.. Leave it to a pro. You'll rest easier.

1st. turn off main power switch on breaker box, then pull out on the one end of breaker and it falls out disconnect your wires 1 at a time and hook to your new breaker 1 at a time reinstall breaker , better yet if you don't know for sure call an electrician

picking up the phone an calling an electrician. If you ain't qualified, leave electricity ALONE. And don't ask for advice on a web site and expect expert answers!
