The following steps will guide you on how to remove and replace the rear brake pads on a Volkswagen Passat. First, lift the vehicle and start by removing the rear wheels; then, use a lever on the caliper piston to retract it, subsequently unscrewing the bolts found at the back to remove it from the disc, as shown in the video.
