disk or drum brakes? disk brakes, you jack up car, remove wheel. remove 2 bolts that hold caliper to vehicle. then lift caliper off disk, being careful not to break flexible brake line.remove old brake pads, noting how anti rattle goes on. using a large c-clamp,u need to push caliper piston back into caliper far enough to allow u to install new pads and have space between them to reinstall over disk. reinstall 2 bolts that hold caliper,replace wheel. repeat on other side of car.start vehicle and apply brakes couple of times before you engage gears. this will seat new pads against disk then drive car slowly to test they are working for drum brakes you really need a shop manual this is more involved and you need to remember exactly how each part is attached to vehicle. a manual has pictures which makes it a lot easier
