Jack up the car, pull the wheel off, unbolt the two caliper bolts, pull off the caliper from the disc, pull out the old pads, anti-squeal plates, and anti-rattle clips. Use a C-clamp to push the pistons back into the caliper housing. Remove the C-clamp. Install the pads, clips, plates, and bolts in the reverse order. Walla, you are done. Any bozo can do it. That is why they have high-school dropouts doing it for you for minimum wage at brake shops and charge you around $200-300 for a job you can do yourself in 20 minutes or less for a $15 set of lifetime guaranteed brake pads from Autozone.

They are the easiest to replace. Not hard at all. Just do exactly what Dr. Evil said to do. Changing the disk brakes wont take that long at all. It will take you longer to tear everything apart and put everything back together again.

don't forget you need to reset the pistons. and jell your new pads. and if your rotors are warped, you'll need new ones.
