Instead of completely removing the rear caliper, one can loosen the top caliper bolt/pin, remove the lower caliper pin, and then rotate the caliper upward to replace the pads.
That's how I do it on both front and rear. Oh and be sure to remove the brake fluid cap before starting to release the pressure for when you start backing the pistons up or you might have issues, then don't forget to put that cap back on when you are done.
I just did all 4 sets of brakes on my 2014 compass and realized you don’t need to loosen the top bolt. I was not able to loosen the top bolt on the rear calipers. All you need to do is remove the bottom caliper pin and remove the 2 bolts that attach the bracket that holds the pad on opposite side. The bracket that has the rubber boots. Then rotate the bracket upwards and slide off top pin just like in the video. So remember you don’t need to loosen the top pin.

You may not need this answered anymore but yes it is the same. I just used this video to change the brakes on a 2016 jeep compass. Changing breaks isn't much different from car to car in my experience.
There is a lot of editing in this video but I’m sure, as it’s required, he put the slide pin with the rubber tip on the TOP bolt of the caliper shell and the other without the rubber tip at the bottom.
The video has quite a few edits where you can’t see the actual work performed but as it’s required, and I’m sure he did it - slide the pin with the rubber tip at the TOP of the caliper and the other pin without the rubber tip at the bottom. One way you can tell it goes there is because it’s close to a rubber cap (brake fluid line) at the top.

Quick and easy!!!
Good video. I think you could be more detailed for beginners, but it's good.
Love the quick video.
Thanks for such a great video!!
What about glaze breaking the rotors. A bit of emory cloth works wonders
Thank you

You didn't show which pin goes on the top. Or bottom.
