Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. It's usually a good idea to do repairs as a pair but if you want to save money it's ok to just do the affected side. Here are a few tutorials showing what is involved on how to change front brake pads, caliper, brake rotors, and bleed the system when repair is complete.
