Anybody have a writeup on the rear brakes?

[gstreev]

I just did the fronts, no problem.

In the past I have had problems with rears due to parking brake

issues and having trouble turning in the caliper pistons.

Can the pistons be pushed in with a clamp, do I nedd a special tool

or do they have to be screwed in?

if i remember correctly, mine weren't to bad.i just used a c-clamp and a piece of aluminium angle.

You can definitely just push the rear pistons in with a clamp. You might want to look at the vacation pix.

Frankly, I've always been able to push the pistons in with firm pressure

with my hands - and I don't think I have unusually strong hands (for a guy).

There's of course the issue of overflowing the fluid reservoir when you do

this - SpeedBleeder users can simply open the bleeder screw on the wheel

in question.

Thanks, do you have anything that shows the rotor removal?

Its the parking brake setup that I'm not sure about?

I'm a little fuzzy on when I did mine a few years ago, but I remember

it being just like the front ones, and the parking brake a non-issue.

(That was a MY97).
