Does anyone know a good website that demonstrates how to change brake pads on your car?
How To Change Brake Pads May 2nd, 2009I know brake drums are another story, but brake discs are fairly easy.
Seriously, there are tons of sites out there on How To Change BrakBrake Pads.
Simply googling it will give many sites, some even with videos.

Just buy a Haynes or a Chilton repair guide. They are full of all kinds of repairs.

this is one of the easiest things to do to a car.
engage parking brake
loosen wheel lugs (dont remove)
jack up car and place on jack stands
remove wheel lugs and wheel
loosen and remove two bolts from brake caliper (varies by car)
remove brake caliper from top (a prying tool may be needed but should ultimately roll towards rear of car from the top.
remove old pads and put on new, you may need to compress the piston depending on wear (to do that remove lid from master cylinder and force piston to fully disengage, taking care not to damage it, a c-clamp and a peice of metal works great)
put everything back on in reverse order starting with the caliper and work your way back.
