Here is another DIY job of replacing the rear brake pads in my Verna.

Things you need for this DIY:

• 14mm socket wrench.
• Brake pad caliper grease - Fa Duca Lub Grease. I used these on the front and so far they are good, no squealing noises.
• Nose plier.
• Flat head screwdriver.
• Rear brake pads : Bosch brake pads.

I have made a complete step by step video guide as well, so those who want can watch it here.

Now let's get to the DIY:

Step 1: Crack open the brake fluid reservoir cap. This is necessary because while pushing the caliper pistons inward, excess brake fluid will be pushed outward.

Disengage your hand brake as well:

Step 2: Use the 14mm wrench to remove the 14mm brake caliper bolts:

Step 3: Gently wiggle and remove the brake caliper and use the flat head screw driver to remove the old brake pads:

Step 4: Remove the slide pins, they just slide out when you pull them. Clean off the old grease and apply new grease on them. Then reinsert:

Remove the retainer clips , rub the surface with sand paper to remove rust. Wipe it clean and then grease it as well. I did not get new retainer clips with my Bosch brake pads, so I'm just reusing the old one:

The inner brake pad which comes in contact with the piston must be greased in this portion:

While the outer brake pad will be greased in these portions:

Step 5: Rotate the brake caliper piston in the clock wise direction all the way in with the help of the Nose Plier:

Step 6: Insert the retainer clips and brake pads in place. You have to insert the brake pads at a slight angle:

Step 7: Take your brake caliper and put it back in place. You will have to push the sliding pins inwards while placing the brake caliper. Tighten it with the 14mm bolts.

Do the same job on the opposite side as well and you're almost done:

Step 8: Start your engine and keep half-pressing the brake pedal. Keep the brake fluid reservoir cap slightly open. Don't press the brake pedal fully in as this could damage the master cylinder.

Close the brake fluid reservoir and you're done.

I hope you enjoy doing this DIY at home.
