Brake Help
I own a My'00 2.5 and I have a screech coming from the drivers side front wheel. I looked throught the opening in the caliper and saw that the pads are very thin. I plan on replacing them with EBC Green Stuff. I have neer worked on an ABS equipped car. Do you have to reset any sensors or can you just remove the caliper pins and drop the pads in like a non-ABS car then just bolt it back up or is there something else that needs to be done?

ABS is not a factor when you are just replacing the pads, you do it the same as any other car with or without ABS.
The noise is the metal wear-indicator tab on the pads contacting the rotor. There is nothing to reset when you change the pads, just check the brake fluid level AFTER you have changed the pads and pumped the brakes back up. The fluid may be low now because the pistons have moved out behind the worn pads, but it will go back up when they are retracted to put the new pads in.
