to replace brake pads you just need to jack up a car, take of a wheel, take off lower bolt that hold caliper to bracket, then pop caliper up, replace pads, push in a bit caliper piston so that you can put it back (if rear caliper - you need to turn it in), put bolt back, put wheel back, done.

always ALWAYS get your rotors cut when swappin pads believe me it is well worth it plus they will mic them to see if there out of spec
brakes are one of the most important parts of a car dont be cheap with them

i have rotors that are drilled/slotted so they look practically new (no uneven wear like my oems eventually had).
Thanks for the info guys, just didn't want to go for a drive to figure out i did it wrong.

it's not exactly draining the brake fluid... but a good brake bleeding is always a good idea.

ok i really need help now...
i bottomed out my caliper pistons and took off the metal shims that are glued to the pads and they still do not fit...they are only off by a little bit because i can slide the rotor in half way, but then it sticks...
HELP!!!!
