1. loosen lugnuts on wheel
2. jack car up.
3. loosen lugnuts the rest of the way and remove the wheel
4. remove two screws from brake caliper (they're located on the inside of the caliper, pointing toward the center of the car)
5. remove caliper (don't disconnect brake line). Use a wire to hang it from the strut or rest it on the strut. Do not let it hang by the brake line.
5. The brake pads are now exposed. Remove (gently!) and watch for the little metal pieces they're attached to. Don't lose them if they come off the car. You'll need them.
Your brake pads are now out. Compare the thickness of the old one to the new one. The old one is much thinner. Because of this, the piston which pushes the pads onto the rotors has to extend further out of the caliper.
6. Use a clamp to force the piston back into the caliper or else the new pads won't fit. I use a piece of wood between clamp and piston to even out the force and to protect the piston from damage. You might want to use something softer. YMMV.
7. Insert new brake pads, remembering to put back any metal clips that fell out during step 4.
8. Put caliper back on over brake pads. If it doesn't fit, you need to re-clamp the piston further into the caliper. See step 5.
9. Screw the two screws back into the caliper.
10. Replace wheel.
11. Replace lugnuts. Tighten as much as you can. Hold the wheel still.
12. Lower car from jack.
13. Tighten lugnuts more.
14. Relax, congratulate yourself, and have a beer.
