Default Changing Brake Pads

Anyone know of a webpage or a pdf that has instructions on changing the front pads on a '04 RX??

Thanks, I'll be looking for your pdf.
And I know it won't cost much but sometimes it is nice to just do the work yourself.Kind of getting your hands dirty makes one feel good.

Good luck! I normally take pictures before I tear them apart, helps me keep up with it when it is time to put them back. DIY pictures would be good, if you are up to it!

a couple quick notes - there is no reason to rebuild the calipers if you are just doing a brake job... also, no need to disconnect the brake lines from the calipers - just use a coat hanger and hang them up and out of the way while you do the rest of the work....
