Replacing the rear pads on my 95. I have the piston compressed. The rear disc I have done before you had to rent a tool to turn in the parking brake. These don't seem to work the same way.
Am I missing something? Or do I just compress piston and good to go?
I haven't tried to install them yet. Gust getting them ready and cleaned up so I can paint. Just don't want to have to mess with them a lot with fresh paint on them.
You had to remove brake fluid reservoir cap and push Using piston tool or even gently using a pipe whrench with a tovel, in order to avoide any damage on caliper body and piston.

I bought the cheap brake compression tool from Harbor Freight. It kinda worked, but was a bit tedious. In the end, I went back to the old school C-clamp method.
I always open the bleeder to compress with a vacumme bleeder do not want to backfeed crap in the system. then vacumme bleed fresh fluid in. harbor frieght has the vacumme tool.
