Best Answer

on the caliper take out the bottom bolt, there are two bolts that the caliper slides on and only undo the bottom one. Then the caliper will swing up and allow access to the disc pads . You need to get a G-clamp and push the piston in the caliper back( or else it wont fit back down). put it back together and pump the brakes to set the brake piston b4 you drive or the first time you go to brake you wont have any.

You have to remove the brake caliper before you can remove the brake pads. I recommend you use a piece of wire and tie the caliper up to the spring to hold it. Now that the rotor is out of the way, you can remove them by sliding them out.
