I don't have any time tomorrow but usuaually its two bolts that hold the entire caliper on (don't undo the brake line in anyway) pull the caliper off the rotor. The rotor will probably be rusted to the hub so give it a few whacks with a blunt object.
Now you'll have to use something to push the piston back since you'll be putting new (read. thicker) pads in. Use a c-clamp and the old pad and crank down until the piston sits flush. Reinstall and then foloow proper bedding instructions. |

andddd 2 people would be nice for bleeding. unless you vacuum bleed them.
i just did this about 2 months ago. its not as hard as it seems. those two bolts required allen wrenches for me, i dont know if thats on all cars, so you may run into that (only because it seems like no one has allen wrenches for some reason). do you know how to bleed brakes?

Hmm...if you were a little closer I'd consider it but not sure if I would be free tonight...I have to throw some new pads and rotors on the front of the civic so I could give you a hand on your car and you could on mine...what car you changing brakes on?
