SUSP: Replacing Rear Rotors w/ Pads

[ChIoVnIdCa]

As for getting the piston back in, I'm still trying and it is a BITCH But I'm about to try the needle nose method, I was just turning it with vice grips, no pressure applied.

Rent the tool from autozone.

Screws, not hard at all.

Turning the piston on the other hand is a bitch. You have to take a needle nose pliers and hold them open around the piston and push while turning.

the tool we used to loosen those screws was an impact screwdriver. It works really nicely if the rotor
lock screw is stuck. Striking the rear of the driver simultaneously seats the bit into the screw
and rotates it counterclockwise to loosen the screw and turn it clockwise to tighten.







we bought the tool at autozone for around 10 bucks

hopes this helps out makes the job real easy

Two most important tips in this thread. I bought the impact driver at Sears (love craftsman products) and it saved my life. As for getting the piston back in, I'm still trying and it is a BITCH But I'm about to try the needle nose method, I was just turning it with vice grips, no pressure applied.
