Default Need Rear Pad Replacement Procedure

I have all of the info for pads and rotor replacement with the exception of the rear pad process. Can someone please post or instruct. Do you use the same c-clamp process on the rear piston or is it a screw type. Instructions would be much appreciated.

The procedure for the rears is virtually identical to the fronts.

Use the clamp to squeeze the piston, the only difference is the rear pads have a safety nub that catches on the piston so that the caliper can't open. If you squeeze the piston in enough it will clear the nub and you can get the caliper open enough to pull the pads.
