Does anyone know if theres any post on how to change the rear brake pads?

 

haynes manual has it in there, you goto autozone and buy the caliper tool that plugs into your ratchet. ou remove the two bolts on top, i think theyre 16 or 17mm, remove the part from the rotor and rest it on osmething.

you turn the tool so that the caliper is in then you place the pads in there and adjust the caliper accordingly.

www.motorvate.ca its on there it hink

 

Ok thanks i have a Chilton but have to get the tool

 

I checked the motorvate site but they only have a post on the front one's

 

I love how people say "just turn the caliper" like its easy or something. The rear caliper does not just simply push in like the fronts. It needs to be twisted CLOCKWISE. In order to do this you need a special tool. Just go to Autozone and ask for the rear disc brake caliper tool which they will loan out to you. It will still be relatively difficult but will eventually turn with enough elbow grease.

DO NOT attempt to turn the caliper with a pair of pliers, you will just wind up busting your knuckles and getting extremely frustrated as I did. You need the tool. Other than that, its pretty easy.

 

umm..i guess you read what you want to read, good job

 

its like selective hearing. 2 people prior to you have already talked about the tool

 

you can safely use a pair of needle nose pliers as it says in the chilton manual. i did it that way, it is hard to turn but not impossible and not likely that youll bust your knuckles.

 

The top caliper is not too difficult to get off, but when u need to change the rotor, the bottom caliper bracket is practically welded on. You will break your ratchets.
