I'm about to tackle replacing the rear brake pads & rotors. I have the service manual and it pretty much explains the whole process, but I still have a few questions (for the guys who've already done it).
First, It says I need to remove the slider pins (unlike the fronts where you just unbolt the caliper & anchor bracket together). Should I replace the slider pins and boots while I'm doing this? If so, is there a kit with all the parts included?
Second, Do I need to worry about re-adjusting the parking brake cable assembly? The manual seems to indicate this is necessary. Also, can I replace the pads & rotors without disconnecting these cables from the calipers?
Third, what did you use to screw the pistons back in? I don't want to buy that tool if I don't have to.
Nothing beats first-hand experience, and thats why I'm asking these questions. Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give...
