►Rear brakes on any car are often overlooked when compared to the front brakes. When it comes to the Mk4 VW GTI rear brake pads and rotors, replacement should be done roughly every three times you replace the front brakes.
The Mk4 VW Golf, Jetta, and Beetle are now getting fairly old, and when buying one used, you should inspect both your front and rear brakes. It’s a simple process of visually checking the thickness of your pads and the condition of your rotors.
In this DIY, Michael Hidalgo, walks us through the step-by-step instructions on how to replace the rear brakes on Jamie Orr’s Mk4 GTI. Follow along to learn to do this job in your garage or in your driveway at home.

I miss my mk4 gli
Look forward to theses !!!
Would’ve stuck a wrench on that nut that was on the retraction tool instead of adding a “cheater bar”. Looks like you bent that lever
Idk, blue loctite on the caliper guide pins? Seems excessive
Love those crocs!
