I've searched, but only found a few incomplete references to the GT's rear disk brakes. I need to change out the rear pads to pass inspection (I'm slapped with one of those "rejected" stickers until I do, so it's got to be soon). Does anyone have a good link to a how-to for changing the rear pads? I know it's simple, I just have to do it myself for $$ reasons and I don't want to screw anything up It's amazing, my black-as-night window tint passed muster, but my rear pads "just barely didn't pass". They always get you for something. If anyone can help me out with a link or a quick step by step I'll be sure to take some pictures to make it easier for the next guy.

MO may have some picture/posts... I would say try looking on ebay for some OEM Toyota parts (my preference)Or otherwise me and we can see if you can get them from a Toyo Dealer with 20% discount + free shipping - PM me for this option.

MO isn't turning up much either (or I'm just not that familiar with their search function). Could still use some pointers or a DIY, but either way I'm digging into this today

In the end, I just recruited a friend and we winged it. Wasn't much different then the fronts, really. It is a serious paid in the but to get a torque wrench in there, though. On the downside, I'm pretty sure that one of my rear rotors is warped ..kind of gives a whoosh-whoosh sound when spinning.
