To reset the "Change Brake Pads" message in a 2001 Cadillac Seville, turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Press the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds, then turn the ignition off. Upon restarting the vehicle, the message should be cleared. If it persists, check the brake pad wear sensors or consult a mechanic.

You need to remove the front tires to change the front brake pads on a 1993 Aerostar. So the new pads fit, you need to squeeze the caliper back, and then tap out the slide rails. Remove the old pads and replace with new ones and reassemble.
?What year? I have a 1990 DeVille and there are only two (2) bolts on the backside of the caliper (I think 13mm?) It is sometimes difficult to remove. Be patient in removing them, you don't want to break them---speaking from expirence!!
To change the brake pads on a Cadillac DTS, first, lift the vehicle and remove the front or rear wheel, depending on which pads you're replacing. Next, remove the caliper by unbolting it, and then slide it off the rotor. Take out the old brake pads and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are properly seated, then reattach the caliper and wheel. Finally, pump the brake pedal to seat the new pads before lowering the vehicle.
