I did the other rear brake pad replacement today on my 2019 Equinox. 30 minutes. Now that I know the secret handshake, it was fast. It’s a good thing I did. I found the same thing as last night where one of the pads had the friction material separated from the backing plate. Probably the previous owner used cheap brake pads.
Don’t cheap out on car parts if you can avoid it. Cheap parts are cheap for a reason. I’ve learned that cheap parts often cost you time in installation, performance, and present maintenance issues.
