remove the wheel after supporting the car,with a jack stand, then you remove the two bolts that holds the brake caliper then remove the old pads then you push back the caliper piston with a clamp or a big channel lock pliers replace the new pads and after you did the two front wheels start your car and before moving pump up the brakes properly
remove the front wheel and support the van then remove the two bolts that hold the caliper then remove the old pads then using a clamp or big channel lock plies press the caliper piston in so the caliper can go on after you put on the new pads after you would of replace your wheels pump up your breaks and check to see if you need to put in some more brake fluid
If the e-brake cable is attached to caliper the piston is threaded. I use a very inexpensive tool i bought at the parts store . you will need to turn and press the piston at the same time. be aware that the two different sides are threaded oposite of each other.If the e-brake cable is not attached to caliperr the a c clamp should do the job.
Well you need to check your fluid level on the master cylinder first. Then I suggest that you bleed the brake system. Always start bleeding from the wheel furthest away from the master.
If it is for the back brakes you have to have a special tool that turns the caliper at the same time as pushing it in. My uncle and I just used a C clamp and screw drivers to turn and push in. I worked on them by myself for well over an hour and finally called the dealership and they told me I had to buy a special tool that cost over 20 bucks. On the front brakes just use a C clamp and loosen the brake fluid valve cause it may cause dirty fluid to run back into the reservoir. I ran a small hose from the valve to a bucket to catch the brake fluid. Hope this helps.
