Best Answer

The rear pads are exactly the same as the front pads, with one exception:

There is a small, brass 10mm bolt behind the piston. It comes off very easily, and simply protects a small, 4mm Allen bolt. Loosen the Allen bolt and it will allow you to retract the piston.

Once your new pads are in place, you can lightly tighetn the Allen bolt back in and replace the brass protector bolt.
