Can you give us exactly the link to look up the rear pad size? I was unable to look it up. If not, I will open up my back wheel this weekend.
I got a second package with 6.44" and 4.25" pads. I guess they just sent me everything they have. I now have 6.44", 5.5" and 4.25" pads. Is there a third axle for the Leaf?

Sent this a few days ago but didn't see it. Rockauto.com has lots of
choices for 2012 Leaf, they show pads as 6.44" long. Great to deal
with, I've bought from them several times.

OK, if my second ebay order doesn't work, will try it.

Don't buy anything from an unauthorized seller. There are so many ways the part can be defective, you can't count them all.
This outfit is excellent:
https://www.1aauto.com/search?q=brake+pad&year=2012&model=1746&searchQuery=brake+pad
They're not just merchandizers, they know the automotive repair business. If you poke around the website, you should be able to find an instructional video on installation. There might be something that's not obvious, like lubricants and anticorrosion or other spent parts that should be thrown away with the old pads. Too late now, but specs on the pad requiring replacement versus clearance adjustment.
It's 'aftermarket' but if 1A sells it, it's of equal quality as the OEM, making for the best price.

I know what I need. Just don't know where to buy 6.5" pads.
To summarize:
haynes.com: 0 result for brake pad
autozone: don't have pad alone
ebay: no 2011 or 12 Leaf, 2013+ only

Hate to get rip off by mechanics. $200 just to look at bent control arm. Already done with the difficult part. Replacing pad is easy, if I get the right part.

Why not design electronics and pay the dealer to fix your car?

It used to be you looked up your model-year in a paper parts catalog, but
it's mostly online now.
if that doesn't work if you have alternative transport park and
disassemble your car and use the alternative to visit the supplier
with the old part in hand..
