Hi,

Replacing the rear brake pads and rotors really isn't too difficult of a job. I do recommend replacing the rotors at the same time as the pads. Oftentimes, you will get brake noise (squealing) when new pads are installed on old rotors.

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

Also, here is a video showing the procedure being done on a Chevrolet Tahoe. This is a different model, but the procedure is very similar.

If you look at the attachments below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle for brake pad and rotor replacement.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
