Hello,

I'm changing my front rotors and pads. I have the big green book for my car but doesn't give basic information about changing the brakes.

What I wanted to find out is how you should depress the caliper pistons when changing the pads? Can you use a regular clamp to depress the piston?

Any help or comments is welcome
Thanks
Rob

 

i always used a C-clamp

 

if you are going to change your brakes you should really bleed your brakes too. and when you do that you can easily push back the caliper piston once the brake fluid is drained. to do a easy bleeding job try speedbleeders. http://www.spleedbleeders.com
