1. Block front tires with chuck or wood
2. Loosen read lug nuts on the single tire
3 Lift rear car with jack and also support with jack stand
4. Remove cap off brake reservoir
5. Make sure emergency brake is disengaged
3. Loosen lug nuts and remove tire
4. Get bucket or something to support the caliper when you remove it
5. Loosen both bolts that hold the caliper on glide rods with 14mm
6. Take each bolt out and support the caliper
7. Check the new brake pad that it is the same size as the old one
8. Remove pad and its metal plate

10. Replace pad onto new brackets
10. Twist and remove glide pin clean and regrease replace pins
11. Clean piston with brake cleaner and towel
12. Lube the piston where it touches metal I used silicon lube
13. Take note where the two holes are aligned on the piston itself
14. Compress the piston by turning the piston with the 2 pins using a needle nose plyer or the device I showed clockwise until you think it clears don’t have to do it all the way. I also align the two holes parallel with the caliper the way they were before I moved the piston but lower in.
15. Check and fill brake fluid make sure there is enough and not empty
16. Grease the back side of the brake pads with lube
17. Turn the wheel and see if the metal brackets touch the rotor adjust as needed to reduce noise
18 Make sure no grease on friction portion of the pads clean with cleaner as needed
19. Place the caliper back onto the frame and 17. tighten bolts with 14mm to 16-23 ft lbs
20. I didn’t do this but if you took off the frame that torque is 47-54 ft lbs but you dont need to take off unless you are replacing rotors.
21. Check and fill brake fluid make sure there is enough and not empty
22. Pump brake
Repeat all the process for second wheel
