How to brake pad install?

Is there how to, on replacing your front and rear brake pads? and how to remove and reinstall the front and rear rotors, or should it be left to the pros?

Just did my fronts. I've heard you need a special tool for the rear calipers.

Did you decide to go with those lines or pads?

Cool. I've got to clean my car and check out if there is much dust too. I did have to use the brakes at 40% yesterday... felt like I was using them at 60% of the OEM set. The lines make a huge difference!!! The pads are now seated in and I have about 100 miles on them so far (I do over 300 miles a week).

Look up at my link above. I didn't snap shot by shot, but it really isn't difficult. Removal of 4 bolts (2 on the caliper and 2 on the caliper bracket). Only key is, DON'T hand the caliper by the hose, either pin it behind the shock or get a coat hanger and hang it off the spring.
