1. Inspect the Brake Pads:
- Remove the wheels to inspect the brake pads.
- Check for uneven wear or damage to the pads. Replace them if necessary.
- If the pads still have enough material left, move on to the next step.
2. Check Fluid Level:
- Open the brake fluid reservoir and check the fluid level.
- Add brake fluid if needed, but don't overfill it.
3. Inspect Calipers:
- Clean the brake calipers to remove any dirt or grease.
- Visually inspect the calipers for any signs of damage or leaks.
- Replace the caliper if necessary.
4. Check Brake Lines:
- Inspect the brake lines for any damage, kinks, or blockages.
- Replace the brake lines if needed.
5. Lubricate Brake Components:
- Apply a small amount of brake caliper grease to the caliper slide pins and other moving parts.
- This helps prevent the caliper from sticking and ensures proper brake operation.
6. Bleed the Brake Lines:
- Connect a brake fluid bleeder kit to the bleeder screw on the caliper.
- Press the brake pedal several times and then open the bleeder screw to release air from the brake lines.
- Continue this process until clean, bubble-free brake fluid comes out.
7. Reassemble and Test:
- Reinstall the wheels and test the brakes.
- Make sure the brake pads are making even contact with the rotors. If they are not, further adjustment or repairs may be necessary.
8. Road Test:
- Take the vehicle for a test drive and check that the brakes are working evenly and effectively.
If the uneven rear brakes persist, it's recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic or technician for a professional diagnosis and repair. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to identify and fix any underlying problems with the braking system.
