Wasup everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. I plan on changing my brake pads this summer, can someone point me to a link on how to change the breaks stickies? I know there's a search tool but it returns a lot of stuff, and I am lazy to look at them all. Thanks! appreciate it!

i just replaced a rear caliper that had seized up on me this past weekend. so here we go.

break the lugs loose
jack up the car
remove the wheel
get a screw driver and pry the caliper closed from the top.
you only need to remove 1 bolt. our calipers have a pivot pin and a bolt. instead of 2 bolts
grab something like a 12,13,14mm socket ( i forget which one it is)
removed the bolt that has that rubber corrugated boot.
pivot the caliper up
remove the old pads
put the break squealing stuff on the new pads and slide them back in the grooves
rotate the caliper back down
reassemble.
