About to do my back brakes, do I need the tool to rotate the piston, or do I only have to compress it? I did the fronts before and only had to compress it, just wondering if I need the tool to rotate it in the back. Thanks!

 

You just need to press the piston in with a c-clamp on the old pad. Note also that you can swap the rear pads simply by removing the top pin/bolt and pivoting the caliper out on the bottom pin/bolt.

 

The backs are pretty much the same as the fronts as far as replacement goes.

 

im just wondering y the rear calipers have a shiot load more parts than the fronts...lol

 

they really don;t.. it;s just all in the way it;s mounted as well as the provisions for the e brakes

 

The parking brake is the biggest difference.

 

make sure you take off the brake master cylinder cap before pressing the piston in.

 

ah i c lol......i was getting my calipers powdercoated and i want to rebuild them as well and i notice many other parts jut little ones..but i undertand what u mean

 

yea, advice from me, take off the ebrake before u do them...

hehe i had to hammer the caliper off the rotor, and u need a 6" c-clamp a 4" chill do but u will need to get creative.

didnt realize why it was so hard to take off until later
