How do I change rear drum brakes on a 2001 Nissan Altima?

is that a drum brake or disc


anyway


take your rear wheel off


then go on


you will get there|||Your Nissan dealer will do it with a smile on his face. They are the best people to turn to since they are the ones that made the car.|||The biggest trick on this job is getting the drums off! They are usually rusted on and require some heat and tapping of a mallet. Just be sure that you don%26#039;t melt or damage anything in the process! Once you get the drums off the pads are fairly easy to change out, just take your time. You can always take it to the dealer and have them change the brakes which is convienent and less stressful, but you will pay out the nose! The front brakes are very simple (about 15 minutes per side) i change them myself and would even change the rears. If you mechanically capable them try it yourself! Good Luck and take you time!!!
