Brakes
Ok, so out of all the things I've done before, servicing brakes has not been one of them. First off, how do I properly remove the calipers? Secondly, removing the pads themselves and reinstallation of new ones? Thirdly, how do you bleed the brakes system? Fourthly, when driving, I have a constant squealing coming from the brakes, how do I fix this??

1) You may not need to remove the calipers if they aren't worn too bad or scored.
2 The pads just slip in and out but you do have to back the piston up. Big "C" clampis my favorite
3)If you don't renove the calipers you don't need to bleed the brakes.
4) Make sure you have shims on the brake pafs.
If you do have to pull them I suggest you go buy a manual because it's obvious you don't have one. It'll save you a lot of aggravation in the end. 2wheel drive modeels are slightly more difficult than 4x4s. The calipers are bolted on with 2 bolts each but you [retty much have to take everything apart to get the rotors off.
