• Q: How to replace the rear Brake Pad Set on 2005 Toyota Celica?

  A: A person should first remove the rear wheel to check pad lining thickness which should remain above 1.0 mm (0.039 inch). Through the use of a screwdriver obtain the clip and two anti-rattle springs and two pad guide pins while taking all necessary steps to prevent deforming components which can be reused if they are free from rust dirt and wear. Once done you need to remove the pads together with the associated anti-squeal shim from each pad. Measuring disc thickness along with runout must be completed before pad installation since new anti-squeal shims need to be installed at the same time. Disc brake grease must be applied to the anti-squeal shims inside then the shims need to be installed onto pads before drawing brake fluid from the reservoir to push in the piston with a hammer handle. Loose the bleeder plug if needed. Add the inner pad with pad wear indicator plates exposed upward, then put on the outer pad while verifying that the friction areas remain free of oil or grease. Fitting the pad guide pins requires simultaneous pressing of the anti-rattle springs before securing the clip. End the procedure by reattaching the rear wheel then torque it at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) feature followed by pressing the brake pedal multiple times before verifying that the fluid reaches the max line.
