C or G clamps.
A size 14 scket or wrench, and a medium sized C clamp to compress piston in caliper
You will need a 3/8" allen wrench to remove the anchor pins for the calipers and a "C" clamp to compress the piston back into the caliper.
1. Tire iron to remove wheel 2. 17mm wrench to remove caliper 3. C-clamp or large pliers to compress caliper piston That's all :)
09581-11000 to compress the piston
If I recall, a g6 has disc brakes front and rear, and are largely identical to the disc brake systems on most other cars, except for one thing; the rear g6 calipers cannot be compressed manually to fit in the new pads. A special tool is required to compress them. If you don't have that tool, you can't compress the caliper piston. If you can't compress that caliper piston, you can't fit in the new pads. Ask at an auto-parts store for a "Disk Brake Caliper Tool" set. Should be less than 30.00usd depending on the brand they carry. Note: The g6 *front* brake caliper pistons compress manually, no special tools needed.
If the parking brake is connected to the caliper then the piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) is required to spin the piston in to the caliper body. Tool is available at Sears or auto parts If parking brake not connected-you should be able to compress piston with a "C" clamp As well if you are referring to the rear pads of course, you can get a pair of needle nose pliers, put 1 end in each groove, and rotate clock-wise to depress the piston, there is always a way around "special" tools, good luck to you
You need a special brake piston tool to do this. Here is a link that shows what this tool looks like: http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=416 Basically, you put this on the end of a 3/8 inch drive, then use the side of the tool where the pins match your brake piston. Engage the pins from the tools into the piston slots, press in and turn clockwise. It will take a lot of turns to move it back in the bore.
screw it in turn the piston clockwise and screw it in , only for rear brakes
You will need a special tool to compress the rear brake piston, other than that, regular tools that any car handyman has.
A ratchet with socket to remove brake caliper bolts, large C clamp to compress the caliper piston to aid removal and installation of brake pads, bungee cord or other means to support caliper after its removal ( don't let it hang by the brake line) Can of brake cleaner if you want to clean the brake system..... wear a mouth and nose dust mask to prevent inhalation of brake dust... Torque wrench set at 100 lbs to properly torque wheel lug nuts
you need two special tools 1. A T60 torx bit to remove the caliper bolts 2. A caliper piston compressor two large c-clamps will work but compress evenly and SLOW
If you mean to push them back in as when installing new brake shoes, they have to be screwed in. There is a special tools available, but in a pinch a pair of channel locks can be used.
