1st time changing GS brake pads - Help
2012 GS - Does anyone have a good tutorial on brake pad replacement? I just started tracking the car & want to learn how to change the brake pads. Got the Hawk one piece pads. The stock pads stopped great but are to dusty.

No need for a manual... as mentioned above, if you have ever changed pads on any other vehicle... then you already know how to do it.
The only difference I noticed was the Clip in Spring tab thing... it just goes in to keep the pads from rattling... It was a little tricky on the first set, it took me about 1 minute to figure out... after that it was all down hill and I can now change all 4 pads in less than 20 minutes.
