Hello, I'm Danny.

For the best value, dependability, and cost I would use Bendix brand. Here is a tutorial showing how to replace rear brake pads:

Here is a YouTube video from our site on how to compress the rear brake caliper for brake pad replacement.

I've attached picture steps below on how to change the rear brake pads on your vehicle. I've attached below as well a picture of the Bendix brand brake pads and part number that are available at your local auto parts stores. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
