    replaced my front brakes today and noticed there wasnt a writeup beforehand, took a few pictures. used a NiBk brake pad/Bosch rotor combo

    1. remove back caliper slide pin bolts/bracket

    2. theres 2 5-point funky looking bolts up top on the caliper, you do NOT have to touch these. every article on brake replacement has people stripping the hell out of those bolts or saying its inverted torx. it is not torx nor do you need to remove them. after the 2 rear caliper slide pin bolts are removed, you can pry off the caliper

    3. check the slide pins, 1 on each side of mine were completely seized and i had to pound them out and clean them up/grease them

    4. remove the clip holding the pads up top, just use hands or flathead screwdriver to knock off. pads will then pull out at a slight angle

    5. mark the orientation of the brake pads, one side has an extra groove over the other. the clip also goes on a specific way. then, press in the brake piston
