4. Remove the caliper mounting bolts, one from the bottom and the other from the top of the caliper.
5. Tap on the brake pads to ensure they come loose, since they tend to get tightly fastened together onto the rotor. Once they get loose, remove the brake pads.

7. Put the new brake pads into the caliper the same way you took out the old ones and then reassemble the parts.
8. Hoist the wheels back onto the vehicle, tighten the nuts with a wrench and lower the vehicle to the ground.
