Just the front pads? Remove the front wheels. You need an allen wrench set. Reove the two allen head bolts from the caliper. Slide the caliper off the rotor. Remove the outside pad. Use a caliper piston depressor or a c clamp to push caliper piston all the way in. Installed new pads add antiseize lube to all moving components except on friction surface of pads and rotor. Install caliper and tighten allen bolts. Install wheel and make sure you pump the brake pedal before driving.
