assuming that nothing else is wrong. when changing the brake pads use a big C-clamp or some vice grips to retract the cylinder. if there are two cylinders you may need to put an old pad between the clamp and the cylinders to push them both back in simultaneously.
If you front brakes rattle, it is usually caused by a a stuck puck or piston in your brake assembly. When this happens, the piston does not fully retract at times causing you brake pad or pads to wear excessibly and when the piston finally retracts fully and does not keep constant pressure on your pads you get a rattle. I had this problem on my F-150 and the brake guy solved this by installing steel pucks and lube.
Remove wheels Loosen 2 caliper mounting bolts and remove Remove Rotor (if peel off type) Resecure caliper Remove brake pads Need to get special tool to retract piston into caliper Do not retract using "C" clamp these pistons have to screw back into calpier (Clockwise) After piston retracted totally install new brake pads and reverse procedure to install DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE UNTIL BRAKE IS PUMPED TO RESET PADS TO CALIPER

If it has come out completely, lubricate the disc brake piston and the piston bore (in the caliper) with clean brake fluid. Make sure the dust boot is clean and is seated in the caliper. Using a turning motion (back & forth), roll the lip of the dust boot over the piston and push the piston into the caliper by hand as far as you can go. You'll need a c-clamp and a block of wood (or an old brake pad) so that you can push the piston all the way into the bore. Go slowly as you are pushing and keep an eye on the piston so that it goes in straight with no resistance. You don't want to damage the sides of the piston. If the piston goes to the bottom with no problem, seat the dust boot lip into the piston groove. You'll have to bleed the brakes once the pads are in and the caliper is reinstalled.
You will need a 3/8" allen wrench to remove the anchor pins for the calipers and a "C" clamp to compress the piston back into the caliper.
