It can get pretty complicated, there's a lot to do at once... what sort of car are you working on?

From what I understand, you have to pull the caliper off, and tap out the old pads, put the new ones in, put the caliper back on the disc, and away you go. There's probably a whole lot more to it, I've only ever changed TR pads... I think Gen 3s have a completely different brake setup but I'm not sure. Get a Haynes manual if you can, they've got everything in them you could possibly need to know.

You can "slap" a set in if you want.....
If you want to do a proper job, you need "pad glue", some graphite grease and the knowledge of where to put all of this lol
