[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 988631, member: 52972"] As previously stated, there should be not be any big difference between the front and rear disk brakes. The rear contains the emergency brake within the drum which is under the "top hat" section of the rear hub and you really don't have to mess with that unless you want to. Pushing the pistons back to fit the new pads is the same as the front...just be sure to open the bleed screw as Gavin said. If you open the bleed screw first, it's fairly easy to push the pistons back with your fingers and if you hit any resistance, that could mean that you have pitting or corrosion in the calipers....Then it would be wise to just replace the calipers with rebuilt units. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
