Rear Brake Pad Replacement
Is there a write up on replacing our rear brake pads for our car...I found plenty on completing the front brakes , but nothing for the rear......
I want to make sure I am not making the job harder than it should be.
Thank You.

/\ KiaB is right if they are 4-piston, however, if 2-piston calipers, then there is a difference.
For 2's, you need to remove the 2 pins on the rod ends, tap out the rods (watch how the rods fit over the spring steel). Then you simply wiggle the pads out, replace and then lay the spring plate on top, reinsert 1 rod over one side of the spring, then push the spring down and insert the other rod and tap them into place. Finally, put the pins back, and you are done.
