take off the tire
feel the rotor with your finger, is it smooth, or does it have grooves like a record? grooves means it will need to be cut
remove the pads byloosening the caliper. some cars use allen wrench
then lift the caliper off the rotor, and put the new ones in their place
you''ll have to depress the plunger since the new ones are thicker( not worn) and wont fit
just squeeze them inHow do I replace my front brake pads on my 1997 Honda Accord?

If you have to ask, have somebody else who knows what they're doing. If you know somebody, maybe you can help him/her do it so the next time you know. It's not hard once you do it but it's not something you would want to experiment with, after all you need it to avoid killing yourself and/or others.How do I replace my front brake pads on my 1997 Honda Accord?
