Should be disc brakes and not adjustable caliper slides to compensate for lining wear unless caliper slides are frozen
Not the lining themselves. You should lube the caliper and pad slides.
Jack up the car. Take off your tire. Find the bolt on the back of the caliper and take it off. This should release the caliper, pull the caliper off the disc. Now you should be able to take the pad out. Replace the pad. You'll need a special tool to reset the caliper. As the brakes wear down, the caliper gets tighter so the brakes still work. I'm not sure exactly what its called, but you can borrow one from auto zone. Follow the instructions that come with it to reset the caliper. Slide the caliper back over the disc. If it doesn't go on, you need to reset the caliper more. Put the relese bolt back in. Put your tire back on. Drive slowly and test the brakes. Hope that helps at least a little bit.
true you do not need to remove the caliper to change the brakes. how evever they are removeable. you should be able to loosen one bolt on the caliper and flip it up to remove the pads.
It should be a 7 mm Allen.
It should be a 3/8" Allen wrench.
Probably has a sticky brake caliper or sticky brake caliper sliders. Who ever replaced the brake pads should have seen that.
first replace brake fluid if that does work take off caliper spray it with wd40 n move it in n out that should solve the problem.

looks like you need to bleed your brakes they most likely have air in them and bleeding them should fix this

A brake rotor is what your brake pads squeeze to slow your car down. The brake pads are mounted in a caliper. When you apply the brakes, the caliper pushes the brakes into the rotor, which then slows down your wheel.Hi, It is a brake rotor, and is the physical disc of a disc brake. Peace, crigbyThe brake rotor is the disk part. Should be shiny from where the brake pads have been rubbing on it.
