It should be a matter of removing the wheel, the caliper and torque member to get the rotor to come off. There are two bolts that hold the caliper on the torque member and then another two that hold the torque member on the spindle hub. Now, the rotor comes off the wheel studs and you should be there.

Let me know if you need further help. If you need a diagram, I would suggest buying a Haynes Manual from a local NAPA, Autozone, or Checker, or even a Fleet Farm and those will have complete instructions and diagrams for everything on the vehicle and are a great thing to have for every vehicle that you own.

If you have any other questions, please let me know, thanks.

You will need a jack and 2 jack stands to get the front wheels off the ground (break the lug nuts loose before lifting) and support the vehicle.

You will need the lug nut wrench (or a 1/2 inch breaker bar and 21 MM socket) to remove the wheel.

You will need a 14 MM wrench to remove the caliper bolts and possibly a flat head screwdriver to pry the caliper off of the pads if it is difficult.

You will need a big pair of channel lock pliers to compress the piston back into the caliper bore to allow room for the new pads.

You may need a hammer to hit the rotors to break them loose if they are rusted into place on the hub- a couple good shots should break them free if needed.

You will also need a wire brush and some good brake grease (available at any parts store). You will want to see any place that the pads contact a stationary surface and clean this area and apply a film of the grease to these points to prevent binding and uneven pad wear.

Hope this is helpful!!

Remove wheel & tire,
remove 2 torx bolts that go from the inside to the outside of the vehicle. They are on the inner side of the brake caliper.
lift the caliper out of the rotor.
remove the brake pads.
To install, you must first squeeze the caliper piston back inot its bore. Do this slowly to prevent damage to the piston. You are forcing excess brake fluid back into the master cylinder reservoir. Slow constant pressure will get the job done. Use a large c clamp or a wooden hammer handel if that's all you have.
Fit the new brake pads in the calipers and slide the assembly back over the rotor.
install the 2 torx bolts, size 40? head I think.
You are done.
If rotors are scored bad, replace them too.

You can get this problem if you use cheap brake pads that do not come with an anti rattle clip set. I would never recommend using metallic pads on any vehicle, although there are some good ones out there. I would recommend using only a full ceramic pad each and everytime you replace your pads.

Changing brake disc is a lot of work. Why not just go to your mechanic so that it will be more accurate and functional. But if you really want to know it. I have researched a video presentation for it at here.
