Remove the two 1/2' bolts that secure the caliper to the strut. Remove the 3/16" allen screw in the caliper body (allows more room for bracket to push back further during pad install) use a screwdriver or anything that allows the caliper piston to be pushed in, remove old pads. Best to pull caliper bracket out of body and grease the shafts so the bracket slides easily. Install bracket back on body,install bottom of pad first in bracket,then you can push a little further on upper bracket (where the allen screw goes) to get the top pad in. You still may have to tap the pad to get it over the bracket. After pads are installed, pump up brakes,replace allen screw and tighten until rotor begins to be hard to turn,then back off allen screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn and rotor is free to turn(this aligns caliper to rotor). If this sounds complicated,just get a manual,it explains better than I can,plus is usually illustrated! OPT
