Exclamation 2010 caravan rear brakes

had front brake pads and rotors replaced by dealer for free just before 2 years was up.they said my rear brakes needed replacement but not covered.i said i would fix rear brakes myself.
found rear brake pads with very uneven wear but rotors looked ok
found instructions and pictures for rear brake repair on dodge fourm very helpfull!!!
got new pads at cdn tire and rear brake tool kit at princess auto [$55.00 cdn]
found rear brakes very gummed up so cleaned and polished
calipar retraction tool worked great
lubed and installed new pads
brakes are working well
looks like rear brakes will need to be cleaned and lubed every 20 to 30 k so investing in the rear brake tool kit makes sence
check your front spark plugs mine show heavey corrosion so i spray some lube on them every fill up now!

There are also updated pad slides for the rear pads, takes care of the sticking pad issue (inner pad wearing faster than the outer pad).
