I've attached picture steps below on how to change the front brake pads and rotors on your vehicle. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hi,

Front brakes aren't too hard to replace. You can expect rear brakes to last approximately 25,000 miles, but that is based on driver habits and terrain.

First, here is a link that you may find helpful. It explains how, in general, the job is done. You can use it as a guide.
