I noticed that my rear brake pads on my Kia Rio are wearing out and need to be replaced. Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions on how to change them myself?
ReplyIt's a fairly easy process that anyone can do with the right tools. First, you'll need to jack up the car and remove the rear wheels. Then, you'll see the caliper and brake pads. Use a C-clamp to compress the caliper and remove the old brake pads. Install the new brake pads and put everything back together. Don't forget to pump the brake pedal a few times before driving the car again.
I recommend watching a tutorial video on YouTube for this process. It's always helpful to see someone else do it before trying it yourself. Also, make sure you have a good set of tools before starting. If you're not comfortable doing it, it's always best to just take it to a professional mechanic.
