    Hey guys,

    I'm new on this site and just recently picked up my first grand prix and love how it rides! It may have 210,000 on it but it drives great!! I am doing some tune up things and am having some trouble with the rear breaks (4 wheel disc). I am replacing both rear rotors and pads. Ive pushed the piston back with a C-clamp. There is just not enough clearance for the rotor. It's very close. Someone told me I was supposed to use a special tool to turn the piston back. I'm not sure how I could have surpassed all those threads allowing it to compress though. I'm stuck Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Andrew

    Its been a while but from what I remember the rear pistons needed to be rotated in. I don't remember using any special tool either...
