It is recommended that you use the manufactory's brakes if you are doing this yourself. For each brake pad: To begin with, loosen the nuts on the tire, jack the car, then remove the tire. Remove the pins holding the caliper. The caliper now moves easily, and after inspecting the brake pads to see if they do need to be replaced you can just slide the pad out. Replace the clip then the brake pad. Push the pistons in so the new brake pad will go into place smoothly. Slide the caliper back down and replace the wheel.
