How to Replace the Rear Brake Pads on a RAM 1500?

Model: RAM 1500 DS, MK 4, DJ - Years 2009-2019
Part: Brake pads

To replace the rear brake pads on a RAM 1500, lift the vehicle so that the wheel corresponding to the pads being replaced is not in contact with the ground. This will allow you to loosen the bolts securing the wheel, completely removing it to access the underlying components. Here you will find the brake caliper, which can be detached from the brake rotor by loosening the bolts that secure it and removing the pads inside. Once the old pads are removed, install the new ones and reassemble all previously disassembled components.
