You will need to remove the tire and wheel of your 1998 Oldsmobile. Remove the brake pad assembly. Tap on the brake rotor with a hammer or mallet. Slide the brake rotor off. Reverse the process to install the new rotor and pads.
A lug wrench, an Allen wrench 3/8 and a big. screwdriver
Remove wheels Re-Install 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Use a "C" clamp to fully retract piston into caliper body Replace pads inner and outer Re-Install caliper on rotor PUMP BRAKE PEDAL TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTOR PRIO TO MOVING VEHICLE
With the front end jacked up and on supports, remove the wheel, remove the calipers, then just pull off the rotor and replace. It is good to replace the disc pads also.
Remove the tire and wheel. Remove the brake pads and hardware. The rotor will slide off. Reverse the process to install the new pads and rotor.
You remove the caliper only to replace pads, and then caliper mounting bracket to replace rotor.
Yes you can replace your brake pads but it would be cheaper if you wait until you need a new rotor. I recommended waiting because its way better than replacing it before you need a new rotor.

The bike brake noise could be caused by dirt or debris on the brake pads or rotor, misalignment of the brake pads, or worn brake pads. To fix it, you can clean the brake pads and rotor, adjust the alignment of the brake pads, or replace the worn brake pads.
To replace brake pads and rotor: Unbolt wheel, unbolt caliper, remove caliper, unbolt caliper bracket, remove rotor, replace rotor, bolt up bracket, compress caliper, replace pads, replace caliper, bolt up caliper, bolt up wheel, repeat whole thing on other side...

Just like any other vehicle... Remove wheel, remove caliper, remove pads, replace pads, replace caliper, replace wheel. Do NOT get any grease on the pads or the rotor. If you do, clean it off with brake cleaner, not some other cleaner.
