To change the rear brakes on a 2000 Mercury Mystique, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the rear wheels. Next, remove the brake caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor, then take out the old brake pads. Replace them with new pads, ensuring proper orientation, and reattach the caliper. Finally, reassemble the wheel and lower the vehicle before testing the brakes to ensure they function correctly.
