How do you replace front brake pads on a 2001 Oldsmobile aurora?

To replace the front brake pads on a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston back into the caliper housing. Remove the caliper bolts, take off the caliper, and then remove the old brake pads. Install the new pads in the caliper bracket, reattach the caliper, and ensure everything is tightened properly before putting the wheels back on and lowering the vehicle.
