The first guy was right. I used a Haynes manual and brakes was the first thing I ever tried doing on my own without help. The manual was a lifesaver and offers a lot of pictures. Get the one specific to your truck. They even have a brake one.How-to do it yourself change brakes and rotors on a 1991 s10 chevy blazer. 6 cylinder 4.3 liter eng.?
You can't explain that in a forum like this, it is too involved. Your best bet is to buy a Chilton's or Haynes manual for your vehicle at an auto supply store, where they can also sell you the parts and any tools you might need. Better yet, see if you can get the factory service manual for the car.How-to do it yourself change brakes and rotors on a 1991 s10 chevy blazer. 6 cylinder 4.3 liter eng.?

Start by putting anti- squeak product on back of brake pads. lift up car, take tire off, preferrably use a jack stand to stabilize vehicle, take bolts that hold the caliper out, use hammer to tap caliper up to get it off rotor. (Handle caliper gently to prevent damaging flexible brake line) take pads out, use big C clamp to compress piston back into caliper as far as it goes..put brake pads in, set aside gently... slide rotor off, clean up new one with brake cleaner to get all oil off of it, slide new rotor on, clean up brake linings (area that contacts rotor) with brake cleaner. Slide caliper back on and bolt up. put wheel on... do the other side the same way... If you get a small amount of brake fliud spilling out of master cylinder (area you fill brake fliud) don't be alarmed now there is too much... start engine, VERY IMPORTANT- pump brake pedal until you have a firm pedal before putting in gear or there will be a delay that you don't have brakes! then make sure you have no leaks as it is not uncommon for a old rubber line to leak if it has been stressed....
