Default Brake Pad Replacement

I need to replace the front and rear pads on my 2000. Any tricks I need to look out for or things which will help make it easier. Thanks.

Like most any other brake job; take care with the emergency brake stuff on the rear.

Open the bleeder to squeeze the pads rather than removing fluid from the reservoir.

You can remove just the lower bolt and swing the caliper up to replace the pads.
