Front Disc: 1) Jack up car and take off the wheel. 2) Remove the 2 slider bolts that mount the caliper to the bracket. 3) Carefully slide that caliper back, the brake pads should come with it. Ensure any shims that are insatlled are replaced. 4) Have someone hold the caliper or hang it on the strut using a wire (coat hanger), this is to ensure it is not dropped and the brake line is not damaged. 5) Back up the caliper cylinder(slave cylinder) using a 4 or 6" c-clamp. Just gently push it into the caliper. A good way to do this is to use the old brake pad for the clamp to push on. 6). Once the cylinder is pushed into the caliper there is now enough room to install the new pads (and shims if needed) and slide the caliper back on. 7) reinstall the caliper mounting bolts and torque to 29-36 ft-lbs. 8) reperform on the other side. Rear drums: Can be much more difficult and i would recommend buying a manual. You will also need a rebuild kit that has springs and grease. Also the front brake discs are easily replaceable if you remove the caliper mounting bracket and there are usually inexpensive ~$20-30 each. Or a parts store will usually refinish (turn) them for $5-10. If the brakes never were shaking at a minimum take 120 grit sandpaper and make circular marks on the discs to remove any brake glaze. You should also buy a can of brake cleaner to spray the pads and discs when you are all done.
