How to replace front brakes

Ok here we go.

Disclaimer stuff, this is a guide to help you, blah blah, do it at your own risk. Blah blah.
To sum it up, if you f-*bleep* your car, its your fault not mine.

Now on to the serious stuff.

Step 1) Pull the E-brake, and break the lug nuts loose. DO NOT LOOSEN THEM ALL THE WAY. You want to just get them loose. Once you get a lug loose, tighten it by hand and move on to the next one. Once you get all 5 loosened, raise the car and put it on jack stands or (in my case) raise the car up with a lift.

This is what you will see.

Step 2) Ok, now that you got the car properly supported, remove the wheel.

**edit** Internet speed is moving good now, I will try to finish it.

Now you need to remove the Caliper from the Hub. The Caliper are attached by 2, 17mm bolts on the rear side (facing the engine). Here is the top one (circled in yellow) looking from the inside.
