i need help changing my brake pads. is there a certain way that the c-clamp has to be on the caliper to push it back in so i can put the new pads on????? i know its a stupid question

 

Depends, front or back? If it is the front, there is no special way. Just stick the clamp on and push the piston back in. Make sure you keep your brake fluid resevour cap open. If you are trying to push the rear piston back in, you have to get a special cube tool, sold at autozone/advanceauto.

 

what does it look like or should they know??

 

What does what look like?? The special tool?

original quote from tbrumley from: https://www.audiforums.com/m_10990/m...//tm.htm#12662

"The rear piston needs to be turned to go in, while the front can be pushed in with brute force. The NAPA part mentioned below, I also purchased fro around $10.00. It is the GM-Ford Disc Brake Piston Tool, part number 3355. You can use your rachet to attach to this part, it will help give you more torque. Hope this helps.. "

 

I know from experience that if get a loaner tool from autozone you have to put down a deposite but if you want to keep it just keep it they will just keep the deposit and buy a new one

 

its only 35 dollars at autozone for the loaner. i might just keep it
