I need to replace the brakes on my 06 Civic. The clips are occasionally rubbing against the rotors and started to chirp/squeak. Are there anything that I need to be aware of when redoing the rear brakes since they are tied in with the parking brakes?

I changed the front pads and turned the rotors last month and it was pretty straight forward. The original front pads lasted 63k miles.

Thanks for any advice.

 

On most vehicles with rear disc brakes u need a tool to turn the piston into the caliper u can tell if this one is that way by looking at piston face if it has sum notches or holes in it u will need this tool reason for the turning piston is this is the self adjusting nature of the parking brake

 

Is this a must-have tool or can one improvise to replace the rear pads? I take it you don't just compress the piston back into the housing with a C-clamp and block of wood as with the front brakes?

This will be my first time doing rear disc brakes.

 

Sorry bro dunno why it didnt pop up u commented till now and no ive made due with needle nose pliers before its.jus.a.pain I believe.the tool cost less.then 5 bucks just goes on a 3/8ths.ratchet

 

And the tool is just a cube eavh side has its own pattern suppose to work on all cars but who knows
