First, make sure you have all the necessary tools and parts. Then, jack up the car and remove the wheels. Next, remove the caliper bolts and slide off the old brake pads. Replace them with the new ones and reassemble the caliper. Finally, put the wheels back on and test your brakes before driving.

Another tip is to use a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston before removing the old brake pads. This will make it easier to install the new ones and prevent any damage to the caliper.

R

Don't forget to properly bed in your new brake pads. This involves gradually increasing your braking pressure over the course of a few stops. This will help the pads and rotors to form a good bond, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
