I use a socket to remove the two caliper bolts on the upper inside of the rotor. A screwdriver or your hands will usually pry out the old and worn pads. Depending on the manufacturer I then remove the two bolts that retain the rotor which are also on the inside but usually larger. You will also need at least a 3 inch "C" clamp to push the piston(s) back into the caliper to accept the new pads because they are thicker and you won't be able to fit them over the rotor. If you have multiple pistons in one caliper then use an old brake pad to push both pistons in at the same time with the "C" clamp.
What else can I help you with?

Why does your Dodge Intrepid make a grinding noise after putting new brake pads on?
I had the same problem. It sounds worse than the old breaks. I upgraded to a break pad that has copper in it. It is a softer pad, but works great. Also get the rotors turned. That will fix the problem.

How much should a brake job cost 4 new pad and 2 front rotors on aMazda protege?
It should be a round 300 dollars. Brake bads for this car are about 20 each and rotors should cost about the same. Plus rotor rotation and replacing calipers. I may be over-shooting the price a tad but that seems about right. Just stay away from Just Brakes, they'll make you think even your tires need replacing...
When you break the break peddle shakes makes a funny noise and takes longer to stop what could it be?
that means that the break rotors have worn a groove an when you press on your break the pad is not hitting a flat surfice wich causes the peddle to shake an the reason it takes longer to pull up is cause the pad is not clamping the full surfice of the rotor due to it worn run your finger along the rotor it should be smooth if you fill little lumps means its shot an you need to get it fixed asap

Which slotted disc brake rotors will fit a 2002 Ford Ranger 4x4 FX4 if you want to upgrade your braking system?
Don't go with slotted rotors for a ranger. The slots are made to wear a very slight bit off the break pad every time they pass to make a clean surface on the pads. This wears the pads down much faster than drilled or solid rotors. Slots should really only be used for racing applications. Another function of the slots is to remove gasses from between the pad and disk for better contact. Drilled rotors do this just as well and won't wear the pads as fast.
