After the wheel is removed.

PIC 4 Remove two caliper bolts.
PIC 5 Remove caliper.
PIC 6 Remove rotor.

Note: It may be required to bang on the rotor a little to make it loose. If you plan on reusing the rotor be careful not to hit the shiny part.

Now that the rotor is loose.

PIC 7 Take off the rotor.

While your there spray everything with some brake clean. Those smaller shoes inside the rear caliper are your parking brake shoes. Adjust while you are there if necessary.

PIC 8 Spray brakes clean.

Now grab the caliper and tap out the retaining pins.

Now grab the caliper and an old pad. Put one of the old pads back in and use it to even out the pressure put on the piston. Grab a pair of channel locks and squeeze the piston back in. You may have to do the either piston as you hold the other from coming out. Alternate between the two, you'll get it. It was easy enough that my son actually did it himself.

PIC 13 Squeeze the pistons back in.

After the pistons are the ENTIRE way in slide new pads in place.

PIC 14 Slide new pads in place.

Now grab your new pins and retainer clip. LIGHTLY grease the pins to slide back in.

PIC 15 LIGHTLY grease the pins.

(Those look heavy)

After you wheel is back on you can tighten the lug nuts as tight as you can get them with a wrench. Put the car back on the ground and tighten them again.

PIC 22 Time to wash up.
PIC 23 I DIDN'T EVEN GET DIRTY !!!!!

That's nice, but personally I wouldn't let my son near all that brake dust. There isn't any asbestos in the brake material anymore, but all that dust. YUK!
