My front bikes need pads im assuming they squealing..

think it is easy enough for a person with sumwhat a know how to do head or can most time figure it out. Or should take to shop to do, but money is a factor (right now). Isnt itas simple as removing a spring plate a taking old 1's out and re-installing new 1's?

Depending on your setup, it should be pretty easy to do. It's not hard to figure out but you do need some decent tools and such. But first, check your pads and make sure they are the problem. You could have just hit a hard spot, or they're vibrating in the caliper, or the disc is grooved/gouged, etc. Good luck.

Check what kind of pads you have before changing them for the same material...

My pads are squealing too, and I heard there is a lot of difference between qualities and materials.

It depends if you pads and kevlar, semi-metal, etc...

Sometimes best quality pad will squeal, but they will brake like hell...

Just get informed before you waste 100$

Semi-related: What's required to remove the discs up front?
