I'm trying to replace the pads on the rear. I thought I would find two bolts holding the pad bracket in place butit seems there is one bolt and the other is not a bolt! So how do I go about replacing the pads?
Thanks

This is not AWD.

Hello,

Replacing the rear pads are quite simple.
All you have to do is to remove that one lower bolt, then the caliper will pivot upwards.
That will give you access to the pads.

I have attached the diagram for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
