I just replaced my throttle body tonight. It corrected all the problems I was having. When I came back it said service brake system. I looked and the rear brakes were all the way down, Thanks.

Hi,

Replacing the rear brake pads and rotors isn't too hard to do. Just make sure to get a lifetime pad so you don't have to pay for them again in the future.

You can expect rear brake pads to last approximately 30,000 miles. However, that will change based on driving habits and terrain.

To get you started, here is a link that explains in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

If you look at the attachments below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle for rear brake pad and rotor replacement.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
