Rear brake pad replacement
Decided to give this a shot myself on my 09 SE5 GS, anyone know of any YouTube videos or posts with helpful tips, tricks or watch outs. Have the service manual but nothing is better than experience of others. Anyone?????

Have you actually Taken the brake assembly Off and Measured the Pad thickness?
When I Traded in my 09GS with 33,000 Miles there was LITTLE wear on the rear Pads and Little wear on the Front Pads!!!

Here's the thing..!!
the oem pads are thin to start with but very durable. I got a full set to replace mine but found that after over 30,000 miles they are still within specs. Check them. When you do take your time if you don't have a spreader a tire iron works well to push the pistons back. Remember to remove some of the fluid to allow the pistons to retract then once installed top off your fluid...

Done several
Look for the groove in the pads. No groove, replace pads. I use a #1 screwdriver, twist to spread the pads. Remove caliper, remove pins, remove pads. Use a C clamp to compress the Pistons to flush in the caliper. Put back together. Half hour job. Call if you need help. Number below. Joe
