Default Help with rear brake pads.

I've got a UK 2002 Impreza WRX with standard brakes, which needs the rear brake pads replacing. I've took my wheel off and removed the spring clip, 2 pins and the 2nd large clip, but what happens next? Any advice would be great on changing the rear brake pads.

Thanks, Wolfie.

If you remove the pins , push the pistons back into the calipers , do this with a screw driver fitted between the disc and pad and lever them back in , it doesnt matter if the pads chip as there going in the bin , the pads will just pull out , give it all a good clean to get rid of all the old brake dust , fit the new pads in , refit the springs and pins , pump the pedal to get the pistons back out so everything is back into there working position , stand back and admire
