well we got the back brakes on yesterday...started at about 4 and got done at about 9...it was a pain in the butt to do...we had some trouble pushing the piston back and i started reading the book and you have to screw it back not push, so we did that and it worked but took forever, we think that it was the original brakes on there...ill have my b/f post pics of the brake pads...we took it for a test drive in his dads neighborhood and when i got in it to drive it just shut off!! and we ended up pushing it back to his dads!!! luckily this guy stopped to help...then this morning it started right up!

Twisting those pistons back in on the rear brakes was a nightmare.

I have a kit from Matco for actuating rear calipers that make rear Mustang brake jobs a breeze. I did a set the other day and it only took about 30 seconds per side to compress the rear calipers

yea we bought a big C clamp and it bent it, so then i read the book and discovered you twisted it so then he went and bought a piston tool for it...he ended up using vise plyers in the end...

Dude, why can't I find a girl who's willing to work on my car?? I have to replace all my rotors, pads and my right rear caliper soon, it's gonna suck. I'm soooo not looking forward to doing it, I've been putting it off so long I know it's gonna be ugly in there. They started squeeling like mad today
