Lift the car with a jack. Once the wheel is removed, start unscrewing the bolts behind the caliper.

After removing them, take off the caliper and place it on the hub. Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the old pads, detach the metal part attached to them, and attach it to the new ones. Next, install the new pads.

Use a clamp to push the brake cylinder back in, then reattach the caliper and tighten the respective bolts. At this point, you can remount the wheel and proceed in the same way for the remaining brakes to be replaced.
