If you can see the pads check if they look thicker then a dime, if they get down to that thin then replace them
also look for pitting and wear on the rotor
when riding lightly engage the brakes , if it feels like it is pulsing then the rotor may be warped

Need to take off back tire need a new tire and not
Put the bike up on the main stand. Remove the rear brake caliper assy. Loosen the rear axle and pull it out. Now pull out on the wheel, pull it away from the rear gear housing, the wheel will disengage a gear inside and then it is ready to pull out the back.
