Answer 2

first u need to make sure u replace both sets of pads up front other wise ur car will pull when u brake. next make sure ur roters are not to damaged or grooved(the big round silver thing) if they are u will need to get them turned or buy new ones. ur going to need to get a torque set(any auto place) get the medium set (T45-T55) its a set of four. u also need a c-clamp, turkey baster, jack, jack stand(or equivalent) lug wrench and a set of sockets. loosen the lugs(not all the way) jack up the car and put on stands. turn wheel all the way away from u to make it easy'er to take the caliber off. use the torque socket to remove the torque nut off and a socket to take the other nut off. once off take a small amount of fluid out of the brake fluid reservoir. then use old brake pad and c-clamp and push the brake cylinder on the caliper back in. put in new pads. then reverse the disassembly process and ur done. after everything is back together take a few low speed runs up the driveway or of a street that's not busy to break the pads in right.

Answer 3

Assuming it is merely positioned on that makes the alternative needed, and not injury. As others pronounced, it is least complicated in case you alter the two on an identical time. you do no longer ought to eliminate the caliper to get the wheel off, regardless of the shown fact that it does make putting the wheel returned on greater basic. If money is a controversy, understand which you do no longer desire to positioned on the brakes until it is metallic on metallic, by using fact the disc costs lots to change.
