1. *Gather the necessary tools and parts.* You will need:
* New brake pads (4)
* C-clamp or brake caliper tool
* Wrench or socket set
* Jack and jack stands
* Safety glasses
2. *Prepare your vehicle.* Park your vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. Engage the parking brake. Set the parking brake. Locate the lug wrench and spare tire.
3. *Loosen the lug nuts.* Use the lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel that is over the brake you are working on. Do not remove the lug nuts completely.
4. *Raise the vehicle.* Place the jack under the frame of the vehicle, near the wheel that you are working on. Use the jack to raise the vehicle until the tire is off the ground.
5. *Remove the lug nuts and wheel.* Use the lug wrench to remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
6. *Remove the caliper guide pins.* There are two guide pins that hold the caliper in place. Use a wrench or socket to remove these pins.
7. *Slide the caliper off the rotor.* Be careful not to damage the brake hose when you slide the caliper off.
8. *Remove the old brake pads.* The old brake pads are held in place by two metal clips. Use a screwdriver to pry the clips off and remove the old brake pads.
9. *Install the new brake pads.* Make sure that the new brake pads are installed in the same orientation as the old brake pads.
10. *Put the caliper back on.* Slide the caliper back over the rotor and insert the guide pins. Tighten the guide pins with a wrench or socket.
11. *Replace the wheel and lug nuts.* Put the wheel back on and tighten the lug nuts. Do not overtighten the lug nuts.
12. *Lower the vehicle.* Use the jack to lower the vehicle until the tire is on the ground.
13. *Tighten the lug nuts.* Use the lug wrench to tighten the lug nuts until they are snug.
14. *Pump the brake pedal.* This will help to seat the new brake pads.
15. *Test the brakes.* Drive your vehicle slowly and carefully to test the brakes. Make sure that the brakes feel firm and responsive.
Here are some additional tips for replacing brake pads on a 1995 Chevrolet Beretta:

* If you are not comfortable working on brakes, you can have a mechanic do the job for you.
* Replacing brake pads is a relatively simple job, but it is important to do it correctly. If you have any doubts about your ability to do the job correctly, you should have a mechanic do it for you.
