Brake pads are critical safety components. Worn pads reduce stopping ability and can cause rotor damage if ignored.

Step-by-step video walkthrough for this procedure
Loosen the lug nuts, lift the vehicle, secure on jack stands, and remove the wheel to access the brake assembly.
Look at the caliper, rotor, and brake lines. Check the rotor for deep grooves, heat spots, or minimum thickness (stamped on the rotor edge).
Remove the two caliper slide pin bolts (usually 12mm–14mm). Lift the caliper off the rotor and support it with a wire or bungee cord — never let it hang by the brake hose.
Slide the old pads out of the caliper bracket. Use a C-clamp or brake caliper tool to slowly push the piston back into the caliper bore.
Apply brake grease to the back of the new pads and the slide pin contact points. Insert the new pads into the bracket. Slide the caliper over the new pads and reinstall the slide pin bolts to torque spec.
After reinstalling the wheel, pump the brake pedal several times until it feels firm. Drive at 30 mph and perform 5–6 moderate stops to transfer a layer of pad material to the rotor.
