Step 1: Loosen the Lugs, Jack the Car Loosen the lug nuts so you won't spin the wheel trying once it is off the floor. Use the factory jacking points to raise the car. Place a jack stand underneath for safety. The photo shows a good location in the front. Remove the wheel. This photo shows the right front brake. The job will be much easier if you turn the steering wheel to the left to provide better access. Now would be a good time to spray some brake cleaner on the area and clean the caliper up a bit. (By the way, my rotors' rusty appearance is normal - I had washed the car several hours before doing this job. As soon as it is driven, the rust will be worn away.)
