Instructions:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Make sure the wheels are chocked so that the vehicle cannot move while you are working on it.
3. Jack up the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
4. Remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
5. Locate the brake caliper. Remove the caliper bolts, then remove the caliper from the rotor.
6. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper.
7. Clean the caliper and rotor with brake cleaner.
8. Apply a thin layer of brake grease to the back of the new brake pads.
9. Install the new brake pads into the caliper.
10. Reinstall the caliper and the caliper bolts.
11. Reinstall the wheel and lug nuts.
12. Lower the vehicle and test the brakes.
13. Repeat the process for the other three wheels.
Note: It is important to replace both brake pads on each wheel at the same time. This will help to ensure even braking.
