Make sure the handbrake is off an the ignition is off !
jack up van and place on axle stands .
Remove the road wheels.
remove 2 No 13mm bolts on top of the caliper ( slider bolts with rubber boots on )
the caliper will then lift off the pads .
remove the old pads and anti rattle clips if you have new ones , carefully unplug the brake warning sensor which is on the inside pad on the drivers side if right hand drive or passenger side if left hand drive .Fit the new warning sensor to a pad.
refit the pads and anti rattle clips if supplied .
take the caliper and you will need a special tool (caliper winding tool ) to wind the piston back to the zero position . the piston winds out as the pads wear on the hand brake . The piston requires winding back in as you will not fit the caliper over the new pads otherwise .
once the piston is wound in, place the caliper back into position and reconnect the warning plug .
Your pads should come with 4 new slider bolts , fit the new ones and discard the old .
check everything you have done for correct fitment and double check the 4 bolts are tight and that the disk turns without too much resistance .
Refit road wheels and torque bolts .
Lift bonnet and check brake fluid level , it may be over full now as you have pushed the pistons back and moved more fluid into the reservoir . If so use a syringe and drain a small amount as to bring the level just under the MAX mark .
Start the engine and gently pump the brakes 2 or 3 times to get the pedal back .Check brake fluid level again .
Now lift the hand brake up and down with the button depressed about 8 -10 times to reset the rear caliper pistons . try the handbrake in 1st gear to make sure you have resistance , it will not be perfect yet as the pads need to bed in
to the disc .
you have now successfully changed your rear pads . juration time 45-60 mins .
