like the brake pads and rotars?

edit: inorder to take out the caliper there are 2 bolts remove those then pull off the caliper. use a impact screw driver to remove the rotors screws install new rotors put the screws back in. note: apply a anti-seize compound on the back of the new brake pads and on the caliper bolts threads.. put everythign back together then use a brake cleaner and you're all done.

Why would you use anti-seize compound on the back of brake pads? What you should use is synthetic brake grease on the back of the pads and on the areas where the pads ride on the caliper and also on the brake pad guide pins. The reason for this is 1) it helps the pads move easyer 2) the grease help collects the brake dust. 3) it also helps keep brake chatter down.

I had the same problem i just used a g-clamp to push the piston in and at the same time used a pair of grips to turn it clockwise. Be careful not to damage the rubber boot around the piston as this is a dust guard. Take a look at the following links
