When rear brake pads need replacing
Rear brakes typically take only 20–30 % of braking force, so their wear interval is usually twice that of the front pads. Even so, the rear axle has a major effect on the car's balance under braking — worn rear pads cause swaying or pulling to the side, especially on a wet road. Modern cars usually have an electronic parking brake that is integrated into the rear caliper. As the pads wear, the piston is extended by a small motor. During replacement the piston must be retracted using only the manufacturer's diagnostic tool — otherwise the motor can be damaged. Regular inspection is important because rear brakes can seize or corrode if the car is only used on short trips where the pads never heat up properly. That accelerates wear and can suddenly damage the discs.
How the replacement is done
The electronic parking brake is put into service mode via the diagnostic tool, then the rear wheels are removed and the calipers are opened. Old pads are taken out, caliper slides are cleaned and greased, and the pistons are retracted into their housings — on cars with electronic parking brakes the motor follows a specific routine without which it can be damaged. Discs are measured with a thickness gauge and inspected for grooves. Small grooves are normal, but deep or unevenly worn surfaces call for new discs. New pads are fitted, the calipers are torqued to specification, and the parking brake is returned to normal mode and calibrated. During the test drive we check that braking is even and that the parking brake holds both manually and automatically. The customer is told how many kilometres the pads need to bed in properly.

Why don't the rear brakes work properly?
The most common rear-brake problems come from rust caused by light use. When the pads never heat up during city driving, moisture and road salt start eating into the discs and caliper slide pins. The caliper seizes and the pads wear unevenly — one pad drags constantly and the other barely touches the disc. The electronic parking brake motor can also stick, especially if pads have been replaced without the proper diagnostic tool. Diagnosing these faults takes a thorough inspection: a single seized caliper makes the rear axle feel spongy and drives fuel consumption up.
