The brake pads are shot, and I thought I might try putting in new ones myself. Never done that before on an ABS-equipped car, is there something special to watch out for?

 

hmmm ... not that i can think of but there might be something in a past thread that might help

 

Nope, just keep an eye on the brake-fluid level as you're pushing in the caliber pistons. I forgot and it over flowed and spilled out.

The back calipers require you to rotate the pistons in order to retract them.
