Hello,

The brake pads on this vehicle can be changed using basic hand tools.
Keep in mind that anytime the pads get replaced, it is recommended to resurface the rotors (it is within specification). This will improve the lifespan of the pads and will provide better braking. If the rotor is below the minimum thickness it needs to be replaced.
The minimum thickness for the front rotors is 1.024 inch.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
