Anybody have a writeup w/ some pics? My rear brake is gone pretty much and i have never done rear brakes so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Rear brakes are really no different than the front ones.Very easyt to do.Only difference is you may have to adjust your emercency cable and that is not a big deal either.

Well to be nit picky the rears are held on by a different clasp then the front which make them a bigger PITA to get the new pads back on. Other then a different clip isn't a difference

Easy if your just doing pads....all of these things are easy....if everything goes as its supposed to...not to deter you from working on your car, but always be prepared for the unexpected...I just tried to change pads rotors on my jeep - caliper bolts, COMPLETELY siezed! Ended up bringing it to the shop....oh well

Easy job that i've done before - turns into a job that I cannot do.
