The Caliber needs to be spunthat's why it has 2 holes on the face of it . So as it is being turned use a c clap to helping to collapse the caliber so it will fit the new brakes.

i am not a mechanic but i did figure it out. make sure that you keep an eye on the brake fluid level at all time.

If you brakes are still squeaking after you change your brake pads in any car, you have a warped rotor. The squeaking is caused by the rotor vibrating when pressure is applied by the pads. The best way to permanently fix the problem is to replace your pads and your rotors at the same time. This can also cause accelerated wear on the new pads if you do not replace the rotors at the same time, or at least have them turned.
