How to Replace the Rear Brake Pads on a Chevrolet Cruze

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Brake pads

Before you begin, lift the rear side of your Chevrolet Cruze. Start by unscrewing and removing the bolts securing the rear wheel, then remove the wheel itself. Next, unscrew and remove the bolt that secures the upper section of the brake caliper. This will give you access to the brake pads. Proceed by unfastening and extracting the pads from their housing, and you will have completed the removal. To fit the new pads and reassemble everything, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
