anything special i need to do to change rear pads on 89 pintara wagon (discs)
It is easy to replace the brakes if you know what you are doing. Even on cars like BMW's and Nissan's, the brakes are easily replaced.
how to change the brakes
To replace the brakes on a Nissan Pathfinder, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel to access the brake assembly. Remove the caliper by unbolting it and slide it off the rotor; then, replace the brake pads by sliding the old pads out and inserting the new ones. Before reassembling, compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp to accommodate the new pads. Finally, reattach the caliper, ensure everything is secure, and repeat on the other side before testing the brakes.
drum brakes
You replace the brakes on an ABS S10 the same way you replace brakes on a non ABS S10.
brake calibers might need replacing,the pistons might be getting stuck,its easy to replace.
This will greatly depend on what kind of brakes you have and which parts you are trying to replace. Do you have disc or drum brakes? If you have disc brakes, do you want to replace the calipers, pads, or rotors? If you have drum brakes, do you want to replace the drum, or the shoes?
just replace the rear brakes
Yes.

To replace brakes effectively, you need to know what type of brakes you have. In general, you will need a jack, new brakes, a wrench and Allen wrenches.
not much, i just did my fronts for $95 but you can do it for cheaper than that, just find out much the parts are at your locol auto store.
