[QUOTE="Back-N-Black, post: 10240911, member: 109049"] I had problems with the rears too. First off my car only has 15,000 miles on it and sat in the garage it's whole life but took a lot of PB Blaster and even had to soak it oernight to get the rotors off the hub. Turning those damn pistons in were about the very hardest thing I've ever done. I had gotten the correct tool but they needed like an unbelievable amount of pressure to turn in. I am not a small guy! On one side I screwed the caliper back on the hub so I didn't have to hold it while turning in the piston. Are these things supposed to be this hard to rotate? One thing that I want to tell people, which I did not remember from doing rear brakes in the past and I don't remember reading here. There is a nobbie on the plate, on the back of the pad. You must align the slot in the piston so the nobbie is in the slot. I forgot and was spinning the piston in farther than I needed to to fit the caliper with the pads back over the rotor. [/QUOTE]
