How do I replace my car's brake pads?

I noticed that my car's brakes have been squeaking and it's starting to affect the performance. I want to replace my brake pads, but I'm not sure how to do it. What steps should I follow to properly replace my brake pads?

First, make sure you have all the necessary tools such as a jack, lug wrench, and new brake pads. Next, loosen the lug nuts on the wheels before jacking up your car. Then, remove the wheels and locate the brake calipers. Use a c-clamp to compress the caliper and remove the old brake pads. Finally, install the new brake pads and put everything back together. Double check that the lug nuts are tight and take your car for a test drive.
