Answer 2

GO to barnes and Noble and pick up the Haynes or Chiltons repair manual for your specific vehicle. Usually around 20$ and covers basic repairs. Brakes will be covered.

With basic hand tools, you can get the job done fairly easy. The problem is your car is a 1994, which means the you could run into some problems, which would mean this job is best suited for a mechanic. Older vehicles typically require a bit more persuesion. If the rotors were not removed during the last brake job, theres a good chance the have rusted to the hubs. They can be a bit tricky to get off without some tricks and a bit of experience. Save yourself the headache and let a mechanic do them.

Answer 3

its easy all you have to do is get the car on stands and remove th tires you will the roders and the calipers on the bottom of the caliper housing theirs a thought bolt remove it and then remove the brake line slide the caliper up and you will see the pads with 2 clips remove the clips then the pads and replace with the new ones thay only go on one way use a c clamp or Betsy clamp and push the caliper pistons back in and revers the steps above

Answer 4

brakes are not that difficult, get a manual for the car and follow the pics & directions, changing pads is fairly easy, if you have bad hydraulic parts, well then it is much more involved, but can still be done.

Answer 5

I don't think I'd try fixing brakes if you are asking on yahoo answers.
