you have to take the wheel off first of all.Then you will see,bolted on to the axle,right over top the brake rotor is the brake caliper,fastened by two bolts that you remove,causing the whole caliper to come loose.next u will see two more bolts of close to the same size holding the brake slider in place.remove them.now u can remove the pads from the slider.before putting the new pads in the slider, take two c-clamps and push both plungers back as far as they go.now,put the new pads in place,bolt the slider onto the caliper,bolt the caliper to the axle mount,and put the wheel back on.

Look at the pads and measure the thickness. The minimum allowed thickness for the brakes pads is 2 mm. Replace if they are worn to this point. You will have to remove the wheel to measure the pads.

Very likely the brake pad warning strip. It's a device deliberately set into the brake pads of many GM vehicles that gives you an audible notification that the brake pads are almost worn out.
