Question on changing pads.
I am getting ready to change my brake pads and was wondering if the pistons just push in or do you have to have a tool that you can turn the piston in like on my 2004 Grand Prix?

Bill aka ET... keep in mind that as the pads wear out the pistons come forward causing a drop in the master cylinder..you don't want to push the pistons back if you have recently filled the master cylinder..

The tool you refer to is used on rear calipers with integrated E-brakes in the caliper. Since the C5 uses the ancient (but good) technology of having the E-brake INSIDE a drum in the middle of the rear rotor, all 4 calipers are a very simple design.
