THis is actually an easy task as I just did it to my 2002 Millena S. You start by removing the (2) bolts holding the caliper to the mounts. Slightly tap the caliper off of the rotor using a hammer. While supporting the caliper remove the front side break pad leaving the break pad nearest the cylinder in place. You do this so you can attach a C clamp & slowing push the cylinder back into the caliper. Carefull not to go to fast as you are pushing the break fluid back into the master cylinder. Once this is complete you can remove the old pad & install the new pads just as the old ones came out. Be sure to use plently of squeek suppressant (supplied with the new pads) on the back of the break pads to avoid sweeks later.

Reinstall the caliper & new pads over the rotor & reinstall the (2) mounting bolts. Repeat the procedure for all (4) breaks. Good Luck!

<< I do all of the same myself except -

1- Remove ONLY ONE of the two bolts while only loosening the second. Use the second bolt as a "Pivot Point" to swing it aside while avoiding any risk or stress on the brake line if it falls off its perch as described above.

2- ALWAYS remove the cap of the break fluid reservoir BEFORE compressing the caliper. You will run the risk of any damage to the master cylinder and prevent any fights with the caliper as it fights you by moving back into its original position when you remove the clamp. Place a towel around the reservoir because the fluid will spill out as you repeat this around the car.

3- When completed all your brakes put the reservoir cap back on and GENTLY pump the brakes tight again BEFORE to test drive. Do this with the engine running IN PARK.
