Hello,

To replace the front brake pads and rotors please see below link.

Ensure that you work safely and securely support the vehicle once jacked up.

Also see below link for actual brake pad replacement.

Good morning,

I just wanted to add that you should be replacing the parts with all factory OEM parts. I have found over the years that aftermarket parts do not last as long and tend to make noise when hot.

I would get pads, rotors, and sensors from the dealer.
