REMOVAL
NOTE: Before proceeding, See: Service Precautions/Brakes - Caution.
NOTE: If the rear brake pads are being replaced due to a howl or moan while driving in reverse, proper diagnosis and correction is essential.
Refer to appropriate testing.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. See: Maintenance
NOTE: Perform STEP 2 through STEP 6 on each side of the vehicle to complete pad set removal.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts (3), then the tire and wheel assembly (1).
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance
between the pads and the rotor to easily remove the caliper from the knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before the guide pin bolts
are removed, by grasping the rear of the caliper and pulling outward working with the guide pins, thus retracting the piston. Never push
on the piston directly as it may get damaged.
