First, you will need to jack up the car and remove the wheels. Then, locate the brake caliper and use a wrench to remove the bolts. After that, you can easily remove the old brake pad and replace it with the new one. Lastly, put everything back in place and repeat the process on the other side.

Before changing the brake pad, make sure to clean the caliper and rotor with brake cleaner. This will help improve the performance of your new brake pad. Additionally, I recommend using a brake pad with a higher friction coefficient for better stopping power.

I have found that using a brake pad spreader tool makes the process of changing the brake pad much easier. It helps compress the caliper piston, allowing for easy removal of the old brake pad and installation of the new one.
