When I change brake pads:

1) Remove the caliper and carrier
2) Remove the old pads
3) Separate the caliper from the carrier
4) Compress the caliper piston all the way (you will need to have the brake fluid cap off for this part)
5) Clean the carrier where the ears on the pads reside
6) Lube the guide pins
7) Put the carrier back on the caliper
8) Install the inside pad that clips into the caliper piston
9) Install the outside pad
10) Slide over the rotor and bolt back on
11) Install the spring clip
12) Reinstall the brake fluid cap (when I'm done changing all the pads I'm going to change)
