Not sure when you posted this, but a brake change is fairly easy.

1. remove lugs and wheel

2. remove screws that hold brake caliper in place. typically, there are 2 screws and they are usually a booger to get out. Nothing a little elbow greasy can't handle.

3. after caliper screws have been removed, carefully turn caliper over exposing brake pads. You are somewhat limited in the position of the caliper as the brake fluid hose is usually not very long and typically very rigid.

4. Carefully remove old brake pads. Place next to new pads, this will help you keep track of where/how the new pads should be installed

5. Using a C clap (3' or greater in size), clap down one side of the caliper piston. Although very slow, the piston will want to close on you. Once it does, it is a bear to complete the job without relieving fluid pressure. To avoid this scenario, use the C clap to keep the piston from closing.

6. Install new pads using the old pads as guides.

7. Replace the caliper and screws

8. Replace the wheel and lugs

9. Drive off into the sunset (it is advisable to put the car in reverse, while holding the break, give it some gas and back up for approximately 20 feet. This will help you avoid the squeakiness that occurs when you put on new brakes.
