Is changing the rear disc brakes the same as the front disc brakes on a 2002 Jetta TDI 19 liter?
no. on the front brake calipers the pistons have to be pushed back into the calipers to make room for the new brake pads. on the rear brake calipers the pistons have to be SCREWED back into the calipers. there are notches on the inner edge of the piston rim. you can engage the notches with large needle nose pliers or a large flat washer. turn the piston clockwise as you face it to get it to go in.

How do you push the piston back in the front brake caliper on a Saab 900?
There are several different front brake calipers for the Saab 900 depending on the year. The first is from 1979-1987 and is the same as that on the Saab 99 beginning in 1975. You need a special tool to rotate the caliper piston back into place because the front caliper also acts as the parking brake. From 1988 thru 1993, the front calipers on the Classic 900 are the same as those on the Saab 9000. The NG 900 has a completely different brake caliper setup beginning with the 1994 model.

The clutch fluid on the manual transmission is actually shared with the brake system. Like each brake caliper, the clutch has its own bleed screw located between the engine and the firewall. Simply follow the same process for bleeding the brakes by purging the fluid starting with the rear brake calipers, then the clutch and lastly the front brake calipers.
How do you replace rear brake pads on 1996 falcon?
i thought it was going to be difficult too but it is really quite simple, its exactly the same as doing front pads you dont need to worry about the hand brake at all. There is two bolts that hold the brake calipers in place, undo those pry the pads back to get some clearance and slot the new pads in and bolt back up.
