I just wanted to see if anyone had done a how to for the rear brakes...?

 

disc or drum?

 

If someone dont know how to do a brake job on either drum or disk you shouldnt be messin with a car

 

that's a dick thing to say. everyone has to learn at some time, and it's not hard to do.

 

Sorry i wasnt tryin to be a dick

 

Well if someone can tell me it will be very well appericiated

 

What are you looking for disk or drum?

 

i had no idea how to do it, but i looked at some how-to's and it went fine i had no problems.

if they're rear disc, take off the caliper and you need to use the tool that "screws" in the rear pistons in the calipers (or use needle nose) to fit the new disc inside the new pads, then put caliper back on the car. pm me if u need help

and i saw u had a ss/sc in your PROFILE so he has rear discs

 

i asked if you need disc or drum. what model car do you have

 

disc brakes,i have a 07 ss/sc

 

He has an SS/SC

 

o, piece of cake then. jack the car, take off the wheel, and you have to loosen ONE bolt. then the caliper will slide up (still connected by the other bolt) then it's as easy as popping the old ones out, putting the new in. you can follow a how to for the fornt, same thing

 

what do i use to compress the caliper piston?

or screw it in?

 

if you don't have a piston compressor i use a bigger c clamp. only pust on the piston thought not the pad

 

if you have a C-clamp those are the tool of choice.

 

i thought it has to be screwed in?

 

What had to be screwed in the piston?

 

the fronts will press in (i used a c-clamp, easy enough) and for the rear you need to screw in, you can use needle nose pliers (you will see how to screw in when it's off) or you can rent the tool from autozone. you need to screw it in to fit the disc between the pads

 

All the piston is in a sense is a hydrollic ram it just pushes right in. kinda stiff thats where the c-clam comes in

 

thats the problem i had and i didnt know there was a tool... DO u know what its called?

 

only the fronts push in my friend, the tool is a cube that uses 3/8" socket to screw in

 

oops my negative. Never did rears on my car. Plenty on other vehicles. I feel like a real tool

 

here is the tool you need
disc brake piston cube

autozone rents them i know for sure

 

so can u use just the 3/8" socket? Does it have a name?

 

haha 3/8" socket WRENCH (not the actual socket). you shouldn't have a problem
