Rear Brake Disc and Pad Replacement

Lift the car on the lift and remove the rear wheels. Locate the hole on the front of the caliper and use a punch and hammer to drive out the pin that secures the pads and the metal clip. Use a sturdy flathead screwdriver to pry between the pad and the disc to create some space. This makes it easier to fully remove the pin, even by hand. Disconnect the brake wear sensor, and with the screwdriver, push the pads until the piston is fully retracted inside the caliper, then remove the pads. To remove the caliper, simply unscrew the two 16mm bolts. It is advisable not to let the caliper hang from the brake line but to support its weight with a rope. Removing the disc is very simple; just unscrew the screw and give it a few taps with a hammer (without overdoing it). Clean any dirt with a suitable spray cleaner or a wire brush. When reinstalling the disc, pay attention to the alignment of the screw hole and ensure the disc is flush against the hub. Reinstall the caliper, and to facilitate the reinstallation of the pin, disconnect the sensor connector. Insert the new pads, the retaining clip, and the pin to secure everything. Reconnect the sensor connector and plug it in. IMPORTANT: Before moving the car, pump the brake pedal a few times! If you decided to change the pads because the warning light came on, it is mandatory to also replace the wear sensor.
