    I believe the rear brakes are drums not pads, I don't know much other than that sorry.

      You need to unbolt the caliper from the rear. There are 2 bolts holding it. After bolts are gone, remove the caliper of the disc with your hands or a little prybar, it will come out easilly. You'll now have the pads falling in your hands. Put new ones and put caliper back on the new pads. You'll have to turn the piston on the caliper so it will go back into the caliper. You have to do that because your old pads were used so the new ones are bigger.

      hope this helps

          Do you know how to do the front? if so its exactly the same

          If not

          Unbolt the caliper from the bracket

          Pop out 2 old pads

          Put in new pads the same way as they were removed

          Press and turn the piston back in ( its different from the front because it has a mechnical parking brake on the caliper )

          Put the caliper back on and enjoy your new brakes

          Rear brakes are a tad bit harder then the front.

            Ive heard about a special tool to put the piston back in.. do i need that? if so, where can i find one?

            What about the spacer thing? i guess it pushes the caliper out so it fits on the new pads?

              You can use use a C clamp

              The rod for the parking brake needs to be screwed back in and the piston needs to be pushed in. So you need to push the piston down on the rod and tun it at the same time.

                I used a large flat head screw driver to screw back in my pistons.

                            I found the tool at Harbor Freight in the Automotive section. It looks like a cube, that accepts a 3/8th's ratchet, that has pins of different sizes all over it. Cost me a total of 4 dollars I think.
