Procedure

1. Park the vehicle on a safe flat-level surface.
2. Loosen the lug nuts of the front wheel by turning them counterclockwise using the lug nut wrench.
3. Jack up the vehicle at the front and support the vehicle with jack stands.
4. Remove the lug nuts and carry the wheel away from the vehicle.
5. Turn the steering wheel to the left/right (depending on which side you are working on) to have better access to the bolts of the carrier and caliper.
6. Loosen the upper 14mm bolt and remove the lower 14mm bolt on the caliper. Use a 14mm socket and turn it clockwise to loosen and remove the bolts.
7. Insert a flat screwdriver on the caliper and use it to push the piston back into the caliper.
8. Pull the caliper up and check if the piston is already pushed. If not, use the old brake pad and the brake pad spreader to push the piston in.
9. Remove the upper 14mm bolt on the caliper and pull the caliper out of the carrier. Then tie the caliper to the strut, so it doesn’t hang by the hose.
10. Remove the brake pads from the carrier by pulling them out. If the brake pads are difficult to remove, use a flat screwdriver to pry out the brake pads.
11. Remove the two 19mm bolts on the carrier by turning them counterclockwise using a 19mm socket. Then remove the carrier from the vehicle.
12. Remove the rotor by pulling it out. If the rotor is difficult to remove, use a hammer to push the rotor out.
13. Clean the carrier using a wire brush. Make sure to use a mask to prevent inhaling the dust on the carrier.
14. Pull the guide pins out from the carrier and wipe them clean.
15. Add a tiny bit of grease caliper on the guide pins and insert them back into the carrier.
16. Clean the new rotor by wiping it using an oil absorbent cloth. Also, you can use a brake cleaner to remove the oil on the new rotor.
17. Line up the new rotor into the vehicle and press it in to set it into place.
18. Place the carrier back to the rotor and reinstall its 19mm bolts by turning them clockwise using the 19mm socket.
19. Line up the new brake pads into the carrier and press them to set them in place. Make sure that the brake pads are in the proper orientation.
20. Place the caliper back into the carrier and reinstall its 14mm bolts. Use a wrench to hold the guide pins and prevent them from spinning when tightening the bolts.
21. Carry the wheel back to the vehicle and reinstall the lug nuts.
22. Remove the jack stands and lower the floor jack.
23. Press the brake pedal a few times to put the pressure back on the brake caliper.
24. Torque the lug nuts to 90 lb-ft.
