Just make sure that if you've added any brake fluid since the last brake job, you take some out. When you push the caliper piston back in to fit the new pads the fluid will spill out of the resevoir. If your discs are glazed it'll squeel too. Find a shop with a brake lathe to turn them for you. I only charge $10.00/disc to turn them. That's cheaper than new. :)
