Can I just replace rear brake pads?
You can replace your brake pads in pairs (the front or the rear) at the same time or separately.

Can you change brake pads without removing caliper?
You should never have to remove the calipers to change the pads.

Do rear brakes wear out faster?
Usually, it’s the front ones that wear faster, NAPA explains. That’s because braking shifts the car’s weight forward, which means the front rotors need to be stronger, NAPA explains. But there is a reason why rear brake pads can wear faster than expected: traction control and electronic stability control.
