Rear brake pads!!!?

how to push piston in its bore? should i use special tool or can rotate it? if rotate it ,wich way? and its so impotant to unplug parking cable? any good triks how to change em? i have mazda 626,rotors disks, abs,automatic. thanks.Rear brake pads!!!?c-clamp. i use a 12%26quot; one. just loosen the cap of your brake fluid reservoir. you don't need to push the piston in more than 1/4%26quot;, unless you are putting in new rotors. then it might be 3/8%26quot;. it's not rocket science. just push them in a bit so that you can get the calipers off.Rear brake pads!!!?Use a big %26quot;C%26quot; clamp. Apply slow %26amp; steady pressure %26amp; it will back up into its bore. Do NOT rotate the piston. Make sure everything is clean %26amp; in proper operation.Rear brake pads!!!?you could use a special tool, but also a c clamp will do the job. or before you take the pads off while its still on the rotor use a screw driver to push the caliper back. make sure you open the master cylinder because your going to push the fluid back when the caliper is being pushed in. so put a rag around the master cylinder. hope this helpsRear brake pads!!!?you can buy a universal %26quot;special tool%26quot; at any automotive parts store for about five dollars. the whole c-clamp thing is also a good idea. first check to see if the piston is a twist in or push in style.twist in styles will have sort of a flat surface with a few small pieces sticking out(for special tool) and a push in style is a hollow piston,(kinda like a cup) It will not hurt if you turn the piston even if it is a push in style.
