Changing rear pads
I just want to change the rear pads before they start digging in to my rotors
I would like to do this myself. So is it just the two bolts in the back of the calipor like the front? my worry is the ebrake will i need to touch that at all?

Nothing to it...
Loosen the slide pins and lift the caliper up.
Slide the old pads out, remove the factory pad shims, grease the new pads and add the shims like they were on the old ones and put everything back together.
Might look for a breaker bar for the bolts though. I smashed my pinky nail trying to loosen mine. Its been a few months now and it's almost grown back...
