1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels, but do not remove them.
3. Jack up the rear of the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
4. Remove the lug nuts and wheels.
5. Locate the brake caliper on the backside of the brake disc.
6. Slide a flat-tipped screwdriver between the brake pad and rotor to pry the brake pads apart.
7. Using a C-clamp or brake caliper tool, compress the brake caliper piston into the caliper body.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the piston is fully compressed and the brake pads can be removed.
9. Inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary.
10. Slide the new brake pads into the caliper.
11. Press the brake caliper piston back into the caliper body until the new brake pads are fully seated.
12. Replace the wheels and lug nuts.
13. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack stands.
14. Pump the brake pedal several times to seat the new brake pads and ensure proper braking.
Note: It is important to use a brake caliper tool or C-clamp to compress the brake caliper piston, as using other tools may damage the piston or caliper. Additionally, ensure the parking brake is engaged and the vehicle parked on a level surface to prevent accidents during the process.
