Hi,

Replacing rear brake pads isn't too hard to do. If you plan to keep the vehicle, make sure to get lifetime parts so you never have to pay for them again.

You can expect rear pads to last approximately 30,000 miles. However, that will vary based on driving habits and terrain.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

The attached pics below include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for rear brake pad and rotor replacement.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
