help with rear brakes!

I'm putting the new pads in and they don't fit over the rotor. Can you push the piston in on the rear the same way as the front with a C Clamp or not? Dont want to hurt anything! Thanks!

It is a little hard to put a new fat break pads, but if you buy the correct ones with a little work you can do it. Yes i compres the piston with a clamp.

Yep, works the same way. Just uncap the reservoir, drain a little fluid if you're worried about overspill, put the OLD inside pad on (the one that clips inside the piston cup) and use a big C clamp to compress it.
