Rear disc brakes. How hard is it? Do I still need the C-Clamp to push the piston back in? I read that I will need to turn something clock wise? What is this? I'm only doing my rears tomorrow. I don't want to be up **** creek when this happens.

 

1. Remove the two bolts
2. Pull caliper from rotor
3. Remove old brake pads
4. Turn the piston back into the caliper like a screw. ( I use needle noes pliers )
5. Install new brake pads
6. line up the slots in the piston with dimple on the back of the inner pad
7. Slind caliper over rotor and new pads and make sure everythink lines up
8. Torque the bolts down and your done.

 

What if I don't own a torque wrench? Then what? Can I impact it down?

 

No.... If you don't have one why not buy one. You can get one for small jobs at sears for $20. Do not use an impact gun. If you have to get by without a torque wrench then just make sure they are tight. I think it's only like 38ft lbs anyway.
