Hi,


You really should take the car to the self service car wash if possible and wash the brakes thoroughly. Aim the pressure spray at all angles and from behind. Brake dust can contain lead, so you don't want a cloud when you are working on it. It is just better all around.

I like to use those thin nitrile gloves, saves the hands. They sell them at Autozone.

Try to take notes, or even a picture. That really helps clear up any questions on reassembly.

Purchase a large pair of Channellocks at Home Depot. Buy the largest pair. Use them to compress the caliper pistons. The new pads are thicker so this step is essential.

If I remember correctly, the front calipers have a spring clip to keep the pads from rattling. It can pop free, so don't lose it. Use a small screwdriver to free the clip.

The back pads should snap in after removing the pin screws. Remove the plastic caps to reveal an Allen screw. I think that the head is 6MM.

Copper anti-seize works well as a lube for the pin screws and pad backings.



Good luck,
Goatman
