It is important to avoid blowing out the dust created by the brake system with compressed air because it can be harmful to your health.

The steps to replace brake pads are as follows: 1. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir and loosen the wheel lug nuts. 2. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, blocking the wheels at the opposite end. 3. Remove the wheels and work on one brake assembly at a time, using the assembled brake for reference if needed. 4. Carefully inspect the brake disc and machine it if necessary, following the appropriate instructions. 5. Push the piston back into its bore using a C-clamp, being cautious not to let the fluid in the master cylinder overflow. If needed, siphon off some of the fluid. 6. Follow the specific sequence for 2007 and earlier models, ensuring that the anchor housing springs are reinstalled in the exact same position as they were originally. 7. Swivel and rotate the springs accordingly to release them from the caliper. 8. Remove the pads from the caliper mounting bracket and apply a small amount of lubricant to the four contact points on the bracket. 9. Install the new brake pads and reinstall the anchor housing spring in the reverse order of removal. 10. For rear disc brake pad replacement, tighten the mounting bolts securely when reinstalling the caliper. 11. Depress the brake pedal firmly a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. 12. Check the brake fluid level and add some if necessary, and carefully test the operation of the brakes before putting the vehicle back into normal service.
