The longest it should take is about 20 min to change out rear pads. That is unless you have to replace the rotor also, and then you have to take the other bracket off. Thank god the emergency brakes stay intact. Its basically just like like changing your front brakes and rotors... Oh yeah and if you need brakes you can get them around 35 a set for a decent pair of brakes and around 70 for a rotor.

5% is probably the brake lining on your pads that is left, if so they need to be replaced. If there are grooves in your rotors I would also have them replaced.

They didn't say anything bad about my rotors so I may wait on them until not this spring but next and replace all 4 along with pads again

I just put a full set of the Wagner ceramic pads on with OEM rotors and I'm impressed. My only complaint is that the rear ones squeak in reverse. Otherwise I am very happy with the Wagner brand.
