How do i change brake pads on a 96 jeep cherokee?

the front pads are easy

1)remove the tire

2) use a jeep technical service manual as reference

3) loosen the bolts holding the caliper in place

4) after removing the caliper compress the piston back into the caliper by using a large(4%26quot;)%26quot;C%26quot; clamp with the old pad as

a flat surface

5) use a good brake pad( carbon mettalic won't fade)

6) spread brake quiet on the back of the pads mating to the calipers to keep things quiet. re-install in reverse order.

have a person press on the brakes after re-installation

prior the tire reinstal to reseat the calipers

then repeat for the other side.How do i change brake pads on a 96 jeep cherokee?bring it in to the auto repair shop?
