to replace the brake pads on any car loosen the lugs abit (not all the way) then jack it up. remove the lugs all the way, pull the tire off, theres 2 Allen key bolts holding the caliper on take them off pull the caliper off and the pads should just fall out. to get the new pads on you have to compress the brake cylider back so the new pads will fit over the rotor use a c clamp to do this then just put it all back together.
