Rear Brake Pad Installation
Has anyone replaced their rear pads? Are they the same procedure as the fronts. And when you put the new pads in, is it nessasary to grease the pads?

While removing cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of the caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake
hose is not under tension.

Do not damage piston boot.
Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep the rotor clean of brake fluid.

INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicon- based grease to the rear of the pad and to both sides of
the shim, and attach the inner shim and shim cover to the inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim
cover to the outer pad.
2. Attach the pad retainer and pad to the torque member.
3. Push the piston in so that the pad is firmly attached and attach the cylinder body to the torque member.

3. Push the piston in so that the pad is firmly attached and attach the cylinder body to the torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), etc., makes it easier to push in the piston.
CAUTION:
By pushing in the piston, the brake fluid returns to the master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the
level of the surface of the reservoir tank.

rear pads are the same as the front pads....just take your time, i replaced mine at 16k.... no squeaks or nothing with oem pads now at 22k(the old pads were still good for at least 15k more miles)... Good luck.

Yeah, The rears last about 10K more miles than the fronts. At the most, you should only have to remove 2 bolts to get your pads replaced on one side. I noticed it was a much tighter fit on the rear than the front when installing my new rear pads. Make sure they are seated all the way down.
Greasing is to reduce noise and vibration. Only do it if that's what you want. I did. It goes between the shim and the back of the pad. For most brakes, the shim is already clipped on the pad. Just pull it off and put grease on the shim, then snap it back on.
edit: 2 bolts for each side.

On most rear disc brakes, you need to twist the piston and screw it in. Unlike the fronts which push in with a C-clamp or similar tool.
