brakes
All,
My lovely 4 legged friend took a liking to my repair manual last night. There are little pieces everywhere! I was going to change my brake pads in a few days but now I don't have my repair manual and don't want to shell out more $ right now. I've only changed pads once and that was on my little Sunfire a few years back. I've not done it on a Blazer and don't want to mess up anything so any advice/diagrams would be appreciated before I start work. This might seem like a trivial task to some of you but I'm just getting confidence working on my truck and brakes are a thing I definitely don't want to mess up. All help is appreciated!
Thanks!

loosen lug nuts, Jack up car, Remove Wheel, Remove two caliper bolts (Sliders). Pry or wiggle caliper off rotor. Remove brake pads. Take cap of master cylinder and check level. If full, you will need to remove some. Using C-Clamp and block of wood press brake piston into the caliper. Install anti-squeal springs if included, apply grease to back of pads if included. Install brake pads into calper. Install Caliper on brake rotor. (May have to push the sliders in to clear rotor) Install caliper bolts and tighten securely. Repeat for other side. Start vehical check fluid level, and apply brakes a couple of times and you should be good to go.
