Default Break pad install

I have to get new rear pads on before i am inspected and dont want to have to pay to do it. Has anyone done it themselves (tech i am sure you have!)

What is the difficulty level? can I do it just on a jack?

Walkthrough?

If you have never done any work on brakes before, I would suggest that you get someone to help you with it. Brakes are not something to "fool" around with as I am sure you know. You want to make sure they are installed correctly.

It is pretty easy.
You will need a pair of pliers,6mm allen wrench(or 7mm),Big pair of channel locks to push the caliper back.
Remove the 2 black cover on the back of the calipers to get to the 2 screws. Loosen the screws and the Spring on the outside of the caliper.

Then the caliper will slide off. Push the caliper in and install the new pads.Don't forget the silicon Grease or Anti-seize.
