1. Raise and support the vehicle front end with jack stands.
Make sure the vehicle is in park and the parking brake is engaged. Loosen the lug nuts on all four wheels (DO NOT REMOVE LUGS). Use a hydraulic jack to raise the vehicle off the ground. Place jack stands under the frame rails, just in front of the rear tires. Lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Remove the lug nuts and take off all four wheels.
2. Remove the brake caliper by unscrewing the two bolts that hold the caliper in place.
These bolts are located on the back side of the caliper. Once the bolts are removed, you may have to pry the caliper off of the rotor.
3. Remove the brake pads by squeezing the caliper piston in with your hands or using a C-clamp.
Be careful not to damage the piston or its boot.
4. Inspect the brake rotors for wear and/or damage.
The rotor should not be more than 1mm thicker than the original specification, or have deep grooves or cracks. If the rotors are damaged or worn, you will need to replace them.
5. Clean the brake rotors with brake cleaner.
6. Install new brake pads in the caliper.
The pads should slide easily into place. Make sure that the pads are seated properly in the caliper.
7. Reinstall the brake caliper and tighten the bolts.
Make sure the caliper is centered over the rotor before tightening the bolts.
8. Put the wheels back on the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts.
You should tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to 95 ft/lbs.
9. Lower the vehicle.
Be careful not to drop the vehicle off of the jack stands.
10. Test the brakes by applying light pressure to the brake pedal.
The vehicle should stop quickly and without pulling to one side.
