How do you replace the rear brake pads on a 2000 Buick Lesabre?

First make sure the parking brake is OFF, then remove the caliper and use a C-clamp to SLOWLY depress the piston until it is flush with the caliper surface. Second, on some vehicles however you may need a special tool to turn the piston to depress it. Third, consult a repair manual as the procedure may be different still.
