5) Put pack plates on new pads and appliy brake-b-quiet solution of your choice
6) Slide pads in caliper and swing back onto disk
7) Replace bolt in caliper
Done!
I use the blue stuff at Advanc Auto to keep my brakes quiet and clean it all with brake cleaner often during install. I hope this helps.
Later!

Yeah that's easiest way. I do it like that now too. You have to remove the bottom bolt that the caliper slides on NOT the mounting bolt and just tilt it up. I used to remove both mounting bolts until I read the factory service manual. It says to just remove the bolt for the bottom floating pin and tilt up. If you remove the top one there's not enough flexible brake line to tilt the caliper down. Takes me 10 mins to change brake pads now.
