Hi guys/gals , long time since i have posted , i have been sooooooooooo busy working sorry.
Anyway, the time has come to replace the brake pads in my car. I was just wondering if the procedure is the same as an old single piston caliper setup like on older cars ? (use a g-clamp to push the piston in etc etc, except with the need 2 push back in 2 pistons in the caliper this time ). I have changed brake pads on older cars no worries , but i haven't really any idea if the setup has changed over the years which requires a different method to change the brake pads in newer cars. Any help would be appreciated heaps , cheers.

just use one of the old brake pads against the pistons to push them back evenly

I find a good old g-clamp is a great help! These 'how to' docs may help.

Thanks fellas, good idea that is to use the old pad to push both pistons in at once, instead of pushing them back individually - like i was going to do , cheers.
