When changing rear rotors on a 97 Cougar do you need a C clamp or a special tool to get the piston back in?
you can also purchase a socket that works for about 30 bucks at most automotive parts stores or take to a shop most will do the brakes for about 50 bucks. Most important to not damage the piston or could cause the seals to leak and brake pressure to fade
yes. I just had to do this to my 96 xr7. you have to twist your caliper at the same time as applying high amounts of pressure. I attached a C clamp to it and used a pipe wrench to turn it clockwise. Very long process. It costs about fifteen bucks to rent a tool that will do this very easily for you....

If you are going to replace the front and rear pads and rotors on a 2002 VW Passat 1.4l turbo is there anything special you need to know?
On a 1998 Passat, if you push the piston on the rear caliper in without turning it the caliper is destroyed. You need to buy a special tool to turn the caliper as it is being pushed in. There are some persons on EBAY selling universal brake caliper piston pushing tools on EBAY. If you just push it in, it will not automatically readjust the brakes. You will have very hot rear rotors from the constant rubbing.
