Rear Brake replacement
Hi, I need some info. I want to changr my rear brakes and before I start I would like to know if there are any special tools that I need. I'm concerned about pushing in the pistons because of the emergency brake. Any help will be welcome. Thanks, Ed

I had mine replaced by a local member while I watched and learned. We didn't use any special tools, but if you can, keep your ebrake off for a while if you are changing the rotors too. My rotors were tough to get loose. If it is just a pad replacement, it should be easy and go fairly quickly. You can use your old pads and some clamps or large plier type of tool to push your piston back in. Be careful not to leave your calipers dangling while changing the pads. That's all I can think of at the moment.
