Since I got that tremendous quote to do my brake pads I decided to DIY. I was reading the tech article about it and realized that I don't have a c-clamp. Do I really need it? Any advice would be appreciative.

TIA

on the front, it helps, for the rear, you need the rear caliper tool.

On the fronts you need something to push the piston back into the caliper. On the rear you need to do this also, but need a way to push and turn at the same time. You can use a c-clamp or go the Harbor Freight Tools and buy their brake kit, it makes life easier...<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40732">Caliper tools</a></li></ul>

Bummer on both accounts, I have neither the caliper tool or c-clamp....

AutoZone rents the rear caliper tool and C clamps are cheap.

Thanks for the heads up, BTW are you an ND fan?

Where are you at? I have a caliper tool set in my garage.

Trying the DIY stuff, with no actual knowledge of DIY. I guess you live and learn right?
