Answer 2

Do yourself a favor and spend $10 - $12 at the auto parts store (Advance, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc.) for the Haynes repair manual specifically printed for your car's make, model, and year.

This manual will list the exact procedure step by step and will save you some frustration, and while you are at the store you can also get the parts (the pads), further you may find these tips helpful as well:

It's really not hard, but...
- Do ONE side at a time and finish one before you start the other, so you always have a completed brake set you can use for visual reference (where does this part go again?).
- As a rule, most homeowner's tool sets is all that is required, but certain systems require a torx set for the bolts and a BIG C-clamp to push the piston back and a block of soft wood may be helpful as well.
- For this reason, it helps to have a 2nd, fully functional automobile at your disposal, just in case you have to make another trip to the auto parts store in mid-repair.

After most folks do this once or twice, some wonder why they've been paying exhorbitant mechanic rates for this, it can be that simple... Some folks, however, gain a new appreciation for what mechanics charge and why, either way it's win-win.

Good luck

Answer 3

What kind of car? It's usually pretty simple if you're at all mechanically inclined. Generally remove wheels --> remove rotors --> remove old pads --> reset calipers (sometimes take a special tool, available to rent at autozone for free) --> install new pads --> reinstall rotors and wheels.

You can also shoose to bleed the brakes before you put the wheels back on.
