CAUTION:
Never polish brake pad lining with sandpaper.

NOTE:
^ Check for leakage of brake fluid when removing brake pads and repair brake caliper if leakage is found.
^ Replace all the rear brake pads at the same time even if any rear brake pad needs to be replaced.

^ Check thickness of brake pad lining. If any lining is thinner than limit or one side is excessively worn, replace all rear brake pads.
