  • rear caliper

    quick question for anyone who has changed pads on the rear of a 98+. Do we need a special "tool" to reset the rear pistons. I know on some cars you have to screw the piston back in along with using a "c" clamp because that is how the parking brake adjusts out. I have seen these on the old grand prixs.

    I'm at 105k miles and my wear indicators (squeelers) started talking to me today. (not bad though never done a brake job on the car since I bought it at 35k miles)

    thanks

    just a c-clamp, if your calipers are good you can actually push them in by hand
