Raise vehicle with garage jack.Support vehicle with jack stands on each side. Remove black plastic lugnut caps from wheels. Remove lugnuts with 19mm deep socket and wrench. Remove both wheels. Remember to do one side at a time. Remove two caliper bolts with 14mm wrench. Set caliper aside and support it with mechanics wire. Remove brake pads inner & outer. Remove two caliper bracket bolts with 13mm socket and wrench. Remove brake rotor. Replace with new rotor and get the cheapest new rotor available since it is a wear item also. Replace pads with best quality ceramic pads available. Replace everything in reverse order and lube caliper bolts with silicone brake grease available at your local auto parts store.

How do you replace the emergency brakes on a GTP 2001?

the emergency brakes are the rear brakes ,so replace the rear pads or shoes .................... I believe this answer is incorrect. The GTP contains a miniature set of brake shoes underneath the rear rotors, actually using the inside hub-portion of the rotor as a "drum", as the rear calipers have no cable-operation built in. Remove the rear calipers, pads, caliper mounting brakets, and then the rotors. Replace the shoes as you would ordinary brake shoes. It is very unlikely that these require replacement however (unless you happened to leave them on and dragging for a few hundred miles). It is far more likely that the cables would require adjustment / lubrication for proper operation.
