I just bought new brake pads, if someone could please post a brake/wheel well schematic to help assist me, and the best way to compress the brake calipers.

Auto Zone usually will rent a tool to compress the brake calipers, but I''ve also seen it done successfully with two C-clamps and a piece of flat steel. Personally, I prefer the tool ...

If you have no idea what your doing why in the hell would you work on your brakes of all things. Start with something easy like hubcap changing, radiator cap replacement or adding air to your tires.

a large channel locks does a great job too
