Rear brake replacement tips needed
I barely passed state inspection due to almost non-existent rear brakes (I looked at the r/r rotor: completely rusted except for a ~10mm. ring of shiny rotor!). I also haven't had a much of a park brake for some time.
I'll be installing a reman'd rear caliper ($116) and Raybestos pads ($32). I did a similar job on the front this summer, but I'm worried this rear job is gonna be more of a pain due to the parking brake hardware.
Any tips or assurances would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

The caliper is a little different. The fronts just need to be compressed, the rears you have to turn the piston to get it to compress, I guess it is threaded for some reason. Be careful not to tear the boot, put grease on it, and it should compress with no trouble
