Changed out the rear brake pads today, overall it was straight forward process. The only issue i encountered was my 15mm wrench (husky brand) was too thick and it was impossible to wedge in during the caliper bolts removal. Ended up using a generic wrench which was thinner.

I didn't get any error codes or the dreaded parking malfunction warning after the install. However I was unable to reset the rear brake pad service reminder which should show up in 1000 miles. Followed the procedure above to get to the menu, but kept giving me "reset unsucessful" . Otherwise glad i did this myself to save money and peace of mind it was done correctly , particularly the EMF actuator portion. BTW, don't be surprised during the turning of the EMF actuator and it doesn't stop. It took more than 10 turns until it couldn't be turned.
