Anyone familiar with the rear brakes on 96 and up GTs/Cobras? I am going to swap out the pads Saturday so I was just looking for some advice or tips. I have never done a brake pad install before so this will be a first. I will have a couple friends over to help, but just wanted to get some tips first. I believe a special tool is needed to push and turn in the piston (I guess needle nose pliers will work fine too). Anyone care to explain the install process?? Thanks!

If youv'e done front brakes before it's no different other than the way the caliper collapses and you already know that. No tricks to it really.

You're doing rear brakes on a 2003 Cobra? How many miles have you put on it? There's no way, unless you're doing a crazy amount of driving that the rears should be worn out. Just curious.

I have 23,000 miles on the car right now. I do brake a lot LOL! But how do I get the caliper off and remove the pads?
