How do I change the rear brake pads on a Vauxhall Zafira Life?

I have noticed that the rear brake pads on my Vauxhall Zafira Life are starting to wear down. I have never changed brake pads before, so I am unsure how to do it. Can someone please provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to change the brake pads? Thank you.

Next, using a wrench, remove the bolts holding the caliper in place and carefully remove the caliper. Do not let it hang by the brake line.

Then, remove the old brake pads and use a c-clamp to push the caliper piston back into place. This will make room for the new pads.

Once the new pads are in place, put the caliper back in place and secure it with the bolts. Repeat this process for the other side and then test the brakes before driving.

First, you will need to secure the vehicle on a flat surface and set the parking brake. Then, locate the rear brakes and remove the wheel.
