The rear brake caliper on the G6 has a screw-type piston setup. The piston must be screwed back down into seated position, not pressed. Special caliper screw-in tools are available at local auto part stores and tool supply centers. Better kits will come with several size fittings for several caliper sizes.

Is it hard to change rear brakes on a 2007 pontiac g6?

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.
