Can the the rear brake pads be replaced with parking brake engaged?
Reason being I would like to do it one wheel up in air at a time with rear wheels locked so I could avoid putting all 4 on jack stands.
Appreciated your info.

NEVER put all 4 wheels on jack stands - too dangerous! make sure you always have at least 2 wheels on the ground. i would rather disengage the park-brake and put blocks both in front and rear of each tyre on ground. i would also suggest that you open the cap brake fluid reservoir (to release a bit of bubbles when clamping the caliper piston) but make sure that the fluid does not overflow.
