Year = 2005 chevy malibu Mileage = 64k Engine size = 3.5 dash lights = none codes = none work done prior = none work done to repair = none tech = mw question = i'm getting ready to replace the rear pads and have the rotors turned. are there any hints or specifically needed special tools to remove the rear pads?
MW: Hello and welcome. There is a special piston compressor tool that turns the piston as it compresses it. The piston will not compress if it does not turn. Removal of calipers, pads and rotors requires no special tools.
