Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental deployment of the brake assist system if applicable.
2. Remove Wheel
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove wheel lug nuts with a socket wrench and take off the wheel.
3. Inspect and Remove Brake Components
  • Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors:
    • Check the condition of the brake pads and rotors.
  • Remove Brake Caliper:
    • Use a socket wrench to remove the caliper mounting bolts.
    • Carefully slide the caliper off the rotor and support it with a bungee cord or caliper hanger to avoid stressing the brake line.
4. Replace Brake Pads
  • Remove Old Brake Pads:
    • Slide the old brake pads out of the caliper bracket.
  • Install New Brake Pads:
    • Apply brake grease to the back of the new pads to reduce noise and prevent squeaking.
    • Insert the new brake pads into the caliper bracket.
5. Reassemble Brake Components
  • Reinstall Brake Caliper:
    • Carefully position the caliper over the new pads and align it with the rotor.
    • Tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque (typically around 20-30 ft-lbs).
  • Reinstall Wheel:
    • Place the wheel back on and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
    • Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).
