Hi guys,

First, the Wheel & Tire forum is not for Brakes, so I'm going to stick it here since you guys who want to go fast, also need to stop

.

Having just replaced the rear pads, I can attest that a C-clamp did work for me when it came to compressing the pistons. Apparently I am not the only one:

I just wanted to share that while 40 bucks (US) is reasonable, HF stores, at least the one in my area, have this item at 50% off until 05/16. 20 bucks!

It worked very well!
