1. Jack up your car and remove lug nuts and both front wheels
2. Remove two screws. You can do it later but sometimes they are sized and you will spend a lot of time trying to remove them. Fortunately, I used anti-sized before so it was easy to remove them this time.
3. Push out two rods by using nail and hammer. Remove metal bracket.
4. Use pliers and pull out two brake pads, you might have to shake, twist a little bit.
5. Remove two bolt on the back of caliper with 17inch socket. Place brembo caliper safe on the side.
6. Remove old rotor.
7. Install new rotor with new screws or you can reuse old ones
8. Apply Brembo grease on the back of pads
9. Install back caliper with two bolts
10. Install new pads
11. Install back metal bracket and two rods
Don't forget about brake pad bedding
