Hi guys! Definitely new to this forum! I'm gonna help a friend of mine with a '97 Avenger replace his brake pads. Is there anywhere online that details this job? Or can anyone here post a write-up? Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

1. take wheel off
2. behind the caliper there are 2 bolts that hold the caliper on, thake them out
3. now that the caliper is off, pull out the old pads
4. loosen the brake fluid cap
5. you are going to now need to compress the piston to get the new pads in there, you do this with a c clamp put it over the piston(if you leave the old pad in it gives you a better surface to clamp on and a better chance the piston will go in straight) and tighten it till the piston is flat
6. now the new pads will fit in there
7. then just replace the caliper and all is good
8. Tighten the brake fluid cap/You'll need to pump the brakes back up

Let me know if you are replacing the rotors
