Well this isn't as difficult as it may appear. First you loosen the lug nuts that hold the wheel on. Then raise and support the vehicle (you can do this one side at a time). Now remove the tire and then you will see the brake caliper now remove the dust caps for the bolts and remove the bolts. Loosen and disconnect the front caliper brake hose and remove the caliper. Now remove the rotor if you are going to turn it or replace it. Now put it back to together in reverse order do the other side now bleed the brake system.
