im changing my front brake pads. is there a how-to thread somewhere on here?

 

anyone? i just need to know how to depress the pistons properly and how to push the pistons back out again

 

i use a 6" c clamp to depress the pistons, i've seen people use vise grips too. to press them back out simply step on the brake pedal.

 

Yep... what mattaway said.

Also, if they haven't been removed for a while, the caliper pins might be seized in place, so they might take a bit of work to get out, but if they move freely, it's literally a 15 minute job to do both sides.
