Rear Brake Change

Did my rear brakes (pads and rotors) yesterday and it went surprizingly easy. Nothing special for the rears, just stock shit, with ceramic pads, going to upgrade for the fronts. Only took 20min. The only tool that I really needed was the impact screw driver ($12 from Murrys) I read it in a previous post thanks for whoever posted it. Feels so good to stop.... lol

So you didn't have to use that special wrench thingie to push the piston back into the caliper? What did you use, a regular c-clamp?

You can actually use anything which will give you leverage to push it back in...

Hell I used a long screw diver

I just used the end of the ratchet and pryed it. Didn't have a c clamp, as they are the best way to go. I didn't have to bleed the brakes either, just a few pumps when i turned the car on, and it was good to go.
