Seem to recall the rotors are retained by 2 screws. If so and you strip
the heads, just drill the heads off. I like to crack the bleeder and
compress the pistons before doing anything else. Just use a large
screwdriver to push the pads away from the rotor. Make sure you have all
the hardware with the new pads. OEM pads, the quality, is hard to beat.
Stock pads will last much longer than the vast majority of "Autozone"
pads. You get what you pay for. Make sure you torque all the caliper
bolts. Quite common for shade tree mechanic like myself to overlook one
or more bolts. Don't have to do anything with the wheel bearings. Entire
job shouldn't take more than an hour. Fairly easy even for a beginner.
Forgot to mention, grease the slides on the calipers.
