How do I change the breaks on a 2000 VW Jetta GL?

It's ';Brakes'; not ';Breaks';. They are different words with different meanings.How do I change the breaks on a 2000 VW Jetta GL?
vwvortex.com i believe has a DIY. Brakes are simple to change. Off with the wheel and caliper and on with the new pads and rotors.
One of those things that if you have to ask, then you may want to consider having it done. Break specialists do all four wheels for $100.

You could go to the library and look at the Chilton manual for your car (or buy one) and read the procedure and see if you think you could do it.
fronts are easy, take the wheels off, before removing the caliper pry the piston back by inserting a prybar between the pad and rotor, push the inner pad back toward the middle of the car, once in, loosen the caliper bolts, 7mm allen head. Hang the caliper up so as not to hang on the line, disconnect the wear sensor on the drivers side, have the rotors turned at your local parts shop. Clean debris from the hub faces and caliper brackets, lube the caliper guide pins/bolts (7mm) install new pads with silicone lube on the retaining clips on the back of the new pads, install on calipers, reassemble, whalla
not hard! old off- new on.
Front brakes are a gravy job. An earlier poster pretty well spelled it out. The rears are another story and if you haven't done them and don't have a tool, don't attempt it. I sell calipers all day long because unknowing people try to do the rears themselves. Don't forget to measure the thickness of the rotors too. Typically, VW's can go through 2 sets of pads per rotor, then the rotors need replacing too.
