First, remove the wheel. Then, loosen the bottom bolt that holds the caliper in place. Swing the caliper up! Next, remove the brake pads by pulling them from the disc. Then, use a caliper tool to reset it. Next, spread the break pad lubricant on the brake pad and the caliper; this will lessen/eliminate noise when the brakes are applied. Lower the caliper onto the new brake pads - the most difficult part in my opinion - and secure the bolt. YOU ARE DONE! It's a good idea to secure your new brake pads by making short stops and pushing the brake pedal down as far as it will go. You've just saved yourself at least $100 bucks!

This answer is leaving a few details out. There are some retaining pins that have a spring attachment. You need to remove them before you can take off the pads and reinstall them when you put the new pads on.

It depends on model and year of production. If you have front and rear disk brakes, you need 8 pads (4 front and 4 rear): 2 per each wheel. If you have only front disk brakes and rear drum brakes. You will need 4 front pads and 4 rear brake shoes.
