How do you push the piston on the caliper back in for the new pads? I've always changed my own, but I've also always had a used car. So far, I've done it my step-father's way, using a c-clamp to push it back in. Is this correct? Any damage to the master cylinder from the pressure?

Sorry for the dumb question...

Nobody else does their own brakes? You guys have any idea how much $$$ you could save?

yeah i just used a c-clamp... although last time i did there was mucho brake dust and it was kinda stuck, so i "lightly" applied break pressure, then went back to the c-clamp and it pushed in all the way....

Ah, puck-puck, the Almighty one in here, sweet, I always thought the c-clamp thing was a little mickey mouse build a house thing, but i guess not...I wonder how they do it at the shop.
