with the standard front brake set in a front wheel drive vehicle. Jack up and block the tire, or better place it on jack stands. Remore the tires as normal. you should be able to see the brake rotor and caliper. look for the mounting bolts. usually two. loose them. the brake pads are usually secured by pressure strip over the top of the pads. . Things to know. the brake system is a pressurized system. Get a brake line plug and disconnect the brake line from the back of the caliper. use the plug so brake fluid won't go all over. clean up any mess imediately. Don't let it get on paint. It will strip it. Push on the back side of the caliper with steady pressure. use your finger/hand first. screw driver is not the best idea. may damage the caliper. Once the brake cylinder is separated there should be enough room for you to slip the pads out. reinstallation is the reverse. When completed you must bleed the brakes to ensure that all air has been removed form the system. If not you will have pulling to one side when you put on the brakes, and have a soft fell on the brake petal. If it is possible the best thing to do is get the manual for your vehicle and follow the directions. most manuals come with both explanations and pictures. It is also a good idea if you have a digital camera to take pictures before you start and through out the repair. The will give you a good reference for reassembly. hope it helps. duboff
