To change the brake pads on the rear ,you need to compress th piston in to get the brake pad on. this is not done the standard way. You need a special kit or piece that fits onto your ratchet because the piston actually screws in instead pushing it in . I did not know this and my friend and I spent an hour almost giving ourselves hernia's trying to get the piston in ,it would not budge, we thought the piston had seized. One we found out about this ratchet piece, we got one from a Canadian Tire here, but I'm sure many equpiment rental places carry them. (they ask for $100 deposit but there is no other charge) , it literally took 5 seconds with this piece to get the piston in and then it was very simple to put the pads on. This is only on the back brakes, the front are pretty standard, hope this helps
