1. Lift your vehicle securely using a jack or vehicle ramps and place chocks behind the wheels that remain on the ground.
2. Locate the brake caliper on the wheel you're working on. It is usually a metal housing that contains the brake pads and caliper piston.
3. Remove the two bolts holding the caliper in place. Typically, you can do this with a wrench or socket.
4. Carefully slide the caliper off the rotor, being mindful of the brake fluid hose. Try to avoid putting any stress or strain on the brake line.
5. Remove the old brake pads by sliding them out of the caliper.
6. Check the condition of the rotors. If they are excessively grooved, scored or warped, you will need to replace or resurface them.
7. Install new brake pads. Make sure they are seated correctly and that the anti-rattle clips are installed properly.
8. Reattach the caliper to the bracket and reinstall the bolts. Tighten the bolts until snug, but not too tight to prevent damage.
9. Pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure proper brake pad engagement.
10. Lower the vehicle and test drive it to ensure the brakes are working properly.
11. Be sure to repeat this process on the other wheel as well.
