Step by step instructions on how to change rear disc brake pads on a 2006 dodge durango slt.?

you have to jack the vehicle up and put it on jack stands or make sure its safe to work on then remove the wheels then remove the calipers,and on these ones in the rear the calipers screw back in so dint try and press them in like you can on front pads,you can use a pair of pliers to do this with or rent a tool from auto zone that will do it,they also sell these tools fairly cheap,then slowly turn the calipers all the way back in,do one side at a time this way you always have a diagram to look at,then when you get in the vehicle slowly mash on the brake pedal to seat the new pads ,don't hit them all at once,so this part very slowly ,you,ll need a good set of metric wrenches and sockets to use on this one,the main thing is take your time with it nothing should go wrong if you don't get in a hurry be sure and replace any anti rattle springs that might be bad or need replacing,its not hard job but replace anything that looks worn out as you do this,i doubt that you will need to replace anything but the pads on this one,good luck.
