Hello, I am Danny.
Just a quick question first. Are they rear disc brakes or drum brakes? Danny-

Hello again.

I have attached a tutorial link showing what it takes to change your rear disk brakes.The sockets you will need are usually 10mm-19mm. If you are not replacing the rotors be sure to have old ones turned (machined) to make the surface true again (Pep Boys, O'Reilly's, Napa). Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any needed questions and thanks again for using 2CarPros. Danny-
