I have less than 30,000 miles on my spectra and my rear brakes are going bad, the fron brakes are fine. I take it in to Kia and they tell me the rear brakes are suppose to wear first. I have never heard of such a thing, front brakes on cars are the primary brake, what the hell is this?

same thing happened to mine. didn't make any sense to me either being it's front wheel drive. I am just trying someone to help me get the rear caliper off so I can change the pads.

What part are you having trouble with? The caliper is bolted on

I took the 2 bolts off the calipers and the 2 off the dust cover but it still wouldn't budge.

That is the way the new spectras are.

VWs are the same way.
