Hey guys, I replaced my brakes with my step dad in the rear a while ago and I need to do it on the front now, but theres no one to help me. THese are the steps I think I need to do, if theres a write up or any suggestions you have please POST!!!

1. Take off wheel
2. Un-tighten 2 caliper nuts that are sorta in back.
3. Take screwdriver and pry off caliper and stuff off the roter.
4. replace pads, with existing cover thingies that reduce vibration.
5. use the weird square block thingy to get the cylinder thingy back into the caliper and t6ighten screws.

Anything I missed, anything appreciated, ill be back at like 3 to do it so anything will help! thanks

Good Lord!! I used to get annoyed when .org members would say "SEARCH!!", but I'm starting to understand...

Here are some links from a simple search for "brakes" - they should help:

Here you go...
Just skip the replacing the rotor part and you're all set.
