How do you replace the rear brake pads on the Volkswagen Tiguan?

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Brake pads

To replace the rear brake pads of the Volkswagen Tiguan, you will need to lift the car with a jack or a lift, to ensure that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground: once the car has been lifted, you will need to loosen the bolts that secure the wheel to the corresponding hub. This will allow you to remove it completely and loosen the screws that secure the brake caliper to the respective disc: at this point, you will be able to remove the pads so that the new ones can be inserted and their operation verified.
