I think this is something I'd benefit from as well, I might have to change mine in no more than 2 or 3 months.

front brake bad change is super simple.... I bet I could do it blind folded
Jack up car and remove front wheels remove caliper bolts, I want to say they are either 10 or 13mm head bolts the caliper with the pads installed should then "fold" out away from the rotor remove brake pads, install new ones and reverse process pretty basic stuff

Does the piston compress in or do you need to turn it to compress to put on new pads.
I did 4 wheel disc brakes on a pontiac and the front pushes in with a C-clamp but rear disc needed to turn to compress. |

Actually, he auto-banned himself... And he decided to remove all his DIY threads. Just setting the record straight...

Piston simply compresses. Be sure to suck some of the fluid out of the m/cyl first, or better yet, crack open the bleeder while compressing the piston.
