Start:
   
1. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel. Then jack up the car and place a jack stand under the car in correct location. Lower the jack so its weight is on the jack stand fully. Remove the lug nuts and remove the wheel. You now have access to the brake assembly and can safely reach under the car.

2. Find the two slider bolts ,sometimes referred to as pins, that hold the caliper in place. It's generally only necessary to remove the lower bolt. It can be long but once it is fully loosened, it will slide out easily. It will be covered with grease(the grease should be re-applied to it before re-assembly)

3. With the bottom bolt removed, the caliper pivots upwards. The rubber hose will flex to allow this so do not disconnect any hydraulic lines.

4. People often use a C-clamp to retract the piston or pistons, simply place C-clamp on piston and tighten until the piston is pushed back all the way.

5. Remove the brakes and the clips for the brakes.

6. Slide out Rotor, if stuck bang on ends with a rubber mallet until lose, then replace with new rotor.

7.Reassemble the brake assembly, and apply the brake cleaner to the rotors.

8. Drive
