First things first.
The article I'm giving you is a general how-to on how to do your brake pads. Turning your rotors is something you can't do at home. You need to take the rotors (which should come off in the process of changing the brake pads) to a shop and ask them IF they can be turned (if they have been turned before or if they are warped, you may not be able to turn them).
As for the plugs and wires, just follow your plug wires to the end, and voila! There are the plugs. Do those one at a time, and make sure you gap your plugs to the recommended gap. If you don't know the proper gap, you can ask your local parts guy for the proper gap, or look at the manufacturers label under the hood. Somewhere on there is a proper gap setting.
That being said, it is easier to go down to your parts place and get a Chilton's or Haynes manual. It will have the proper procedure to do both jobs, along with other handy tips to keep your car going.

Whats to know? To change the brake pads, remove the wheel, un-bolt the caliper (just 2 bolts), lift it off, push in the caliper piston, remove old pads, insert new pads (after lubing them appropriately) and re-install. Same as just about any pad slap on any car. Litterally after removing the wheel there are only 2 bolts to deal with.
The spark plugs and wires are also no big wup either. Just remove the top cover off the engine and everything is right there. If its a 2.4 DOHC (Quad 4) engine it will not have spark plug wires but rather hard boots that are built right into the cover. These are a frequent source of problems and should be replaced at the same time as the plugs.
If its a 2.2 engine you might as well replace that leaking valve cover gasket as long as you are in there. That's easy too, something like 11 or 12 bolts and she comes right out.

it rather is an identical technique for replacing the pads on any vehicle. What you're on the whole procuring with brake jobs is exertions. sure, the climate are $40, yet meaning you're being billed $one hundred ten for exertions, and since the common exertions quotes for mechanics are around $60 an hour, it is approximately 2 hours artwork, that's approximately precise.

Oh man it is easy to do. Once you do one it becomes clear how to do others atleast for disk brakes. I pressume that is what you have wince you spoke of turning rotors.
Go online do a search for changing brake pads or join a forum for your vehicle.

Spend the $20 & buy a Haynes or Chilton manual for you vehicle. It's money well spent & you will have it for future reference.
