5.1.
Install a large C-clamp (2) over the top of the caliper housing (1) and against the back of the outboard pad.
5.2.
Slowly tighten the C-clamp (2) until the piston pushes into the caliper bore enough to slide the caliper (1) off the rotor.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Before installing new brake pads, wipe the outsidhow to replace front brake pads - 85076121e of the caliper boot clean. Use denatured alcohol.
IMPORTANT: Lift the inner-edge caliper boot next to the piston.
Press out any trapped air. The boot must lay flahow to replace front brake pads - 87649823the level of the
piston face.
IMPORTANT: The wear sensor is on the inside pad. The sensor is
positioned at the leading edge (upward) of the pad during forward wheel
rotation.
NOTICE: Use care to avoid damaging pin boot when rotating caliper.
NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Diagram is unnecessry.
Pull both front wheels
Work one at a time leaving the other for reference
Find the retention spring ... its a paperclip thickness wire spring... dislodge center retention loop and undo from both ends which engage brake pad retention rods.
Pull the rods out
Pull the old pads out... laying everything on the ground
Use scrap wooden wedges to pry between the rotor and the caliper ...inside and out until the calipers are fully withdrawn. Use the new pads to measure if they are far enough back.
Note... the brake fluid will have dropped in the master cylinder over many months of wear... do not fill it. When the calipers are pushed back they will fill the reservoir again... one wheel at a time.
Be sure to identify the correct pad based on what you took out and what is on the other side (if you screwed up the layout)
Make sure to take the old antisqueek backing plate from the old pad and place it on the new pad. They don't use lubricant on these anymore.
Replace the pads... the retention rods... then the retention spring
Do the other side
Then progressively step on the brake peddle until full tension is felt
Check the master cylinder reservoir... probably needs no additional fluid.
New pads will register in existing ridges in each disc in no time at all.
You should check the discs to see if they need to be replaced during this operation...using some calipers

1. Loosen lugs to wheel with wheel on the ground. Remove AFTER jacking the wheel into the air.
2. 2 bolts hold brake caliper to the suspension. Located on the inboard side of caliper. Usually is a regular hex bolt or an allen head. You may need to persuade them loose at first with a hammer or extra leverage.
3. caliper can be lifted off rotor exposing the pads. Be sure to note how the pads look in place so you can replace the new ones in the correct spot.
4. Depress the caliper piston completely back into cylinder with large channel lock pliers. be careful not to scar in any way.
4. put small amount of lube grease on bolt when reinstalling.
Good luck.. say a prayer and go for it.

You Will Need A 13-14 mm Wrench for Caliper Bolts .A Large Flathead Screwdriver to Spred open Caliper/Shoes to Remove Caliper from Rotor,
After rhis you Can use a LARGE "C" Clamp to CLOSE Caliper Piston.
CAUTION: Make sure the master cylinder reservoir does not overfill and spill brake fluid while retracting the front disc brake caliper piston. WARNING: It is necessary to depress the brake pedal several times to position the front disc brake caliper piston before driving the vehicle.231 views
