Brake question
I happen to have an extra set of front brake pads laying around, and I was wondering if they would fit my rear calipers? I know they are always specified as front, or rear, but they do look quite a bit alike, and might as well save a little money(if possible). I kinda doubt it, but don't want to assume. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they're different, but the only real way to know is try I guess

I'm trying to do my rear pads right now. I searched the diy forum, but couldn't find a write up. Does anyone have one for the rear pads? Everything is so crammed together in there I can't see if I have to take all the stuff off or what.

take the calipers off just like the fronts. Take the old pads out. Use a big flat head screwdriver to turn the caliper piston down ( Do NOT use a c-clamp or similiar, the rear caliper piston TURNS, unlike the front which compresses down ).
Proceed as normal.
