Rear Brake Pad Replacement

What Happens During a Rear Brake Pad Replacement Service?

When our Chevrolet technicians perform a rear brake pad replacement, they first remove the entire rear wheel. Once this has been done, they have direct access to removing the old brake pads. While there are a few other modest steps to removing and replacing rear brake pads, it's as simple as extracting the worn-out brake pad and replacing it with genuine Chevrolet brake pads. This will give your vehicle improved braking functionality than when its rear brake pads were worn down.

Is a Rear Brake Pad Replacement Necessary After a Front Brake Pad Replacement?

Bringing your vehicle in for a rear brake pad replacement is absolutely necessary, even if it has already been in for a front brake pad replacement. Although your rear brake pads don't endure as much abrasion or stopping power as the front, they remain important to your vehicle's stability whenever you do use your brake pedal. The rear brake pads aren't as large as the front since they don't endure as much heat or friction as the front pads do, but they are still as important, in terms of safety, as the front brake pads.
