1. Disconnect the consumer battery (the trunk battery)
2.Proceed to change the pads as normal
3. Don't forget to also change the two breakwear sensors on the passenger side, front and back.
4.Check fluid level, topup if required.
5. Start car - you will notice all sorts of red warning lights and messages on the dash, don't panic.
6. While car is idling, step on the brake pedal several times to set the pads, while pedal is still depressed, turn the steering wheel from lock to opposite lock TWICE. After about 30 seconds, all the warning lights and messages will go away.
Car is now ready. Enjoy your new brakes.

instead of the battery
I just disconnected the brake module in the engine compartment. (instead of the battery) It's the unit with sbc on it and it has all the brake lines coming out of it. the harness easily unplugs. Warnings still appear but go away on there own. There is a good price on rotors and pads (and sensor) on ebay.
