I need a little help with the rear brakes on a 2010 S model. Need to replace after 41,000 miles and this particular design seems to be a little different that others I have worked on before. Need a little insight with someone who has replaced the rear pads before. Thanks in advance.

give me your email and i'll send you the service manual section for the rear brakes.

what's different about it? I just checked the pads all the way around on my car but didn't look to closely at anything. 39,000 and lots of pad left for me

Hope this helps.

Thank you all, email address is [email protected]. Had the car in for state inspection (WV) several days ago and the mechanic said the outer pad was worn almost to the point of failing the inspection. Other than this, it has been an amazing car.

something else may be wrong to cause a single pad to wear that badly. I have nearly 30,000 miles and my pads all look nearly brand new. I'll easily get another 30k out of them.

Just got them replaced this afternoon. Outer pad paper thin, inner pad about 25% left. Calipers don't seem to be sticking to indicate a problem so we will see how long the replacements last (Wagner Gold). FYI once you relieve the tension on the park brake cable at the handle end, the cable does not have to be taken off of the caliper as the service manual states.

What about the rotors? I can't seem to figure out which bolts to remove. (On the front it was easy).
