Rear brake pad replacement

[shadowless127]

I just did my front brakes this passed weekend, but now I need to do my back brakes, oh joy.

I know the e-brake (or parking brake?) is in the rear, will this interfear with a simple pad replacement? I don't need to replace the rotor, so I'm assuming I can just do the rears like the front?

Thx guys!

If you don't turn the rotors, which you should however, then you can slap new pads on.
I did this on mine but i only had 4k miles on the new pads and new rotor.
But most often the rotor needs to be turned which means it has to come off. . .the parking brake PIA is on the horizon. . .if the parking brake has never been done it will need to be replaced anyways as the drum rusts up pretty bad, imo.

My parking brake was recently out of adjustment. I pulled the rear rotors off fairly easily and made the adjustments. It shouldn't interfere with a pad/rotor replacement if the p-brake is functioning OK.

yep just two bolts and the rear is out just as easy as the front if not easier
