Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, lug wrench, brake cleaner, torque wrench.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
2. Raise the Vehicle
  • Use a jack to lift the rear of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the rear wheels using a lug wrench.
3. Inspect and Clean Brake Components
  • Remove the brake caliper by unbolting it from the bracket (usually two bolts).
  • Sub-steps:
    • Support the caliper with a bungee cord or rope to avoid strain on the brake line.
    • Remove the brake pads from the caliper bracket.
    • Inspect the brake pads for wear; replace if they are below the manufacturer's minimum thickness.
    • Clean the brake rotor with brake cleaner to remove dust and debris.
    • Inspect the rotor for any deep grooves or scoring; replace if necessary.
4. Replace Brake Pads and Reassemble
  • Sub-steps:
    • If replacing, install new brake pads ensuring they are properly aligned.
    • Apply anti-squeal lubricant to the back of the brake pads to reduce noise.
    • Reinstall the brake caliper and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 25-35 ft-lbs).
    • Reattach the wheel and torque lug nuts to specified settings.
5. Lower the Vehicle
  • Carefully lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack.
