It was a very simple DIY I thought, and I did my rotors and pads. Make sure u grease what needs to be greased, use a haynes manual. And about the c-clamp, I tried it without the c-clamp, let's just say I went and bought a c-clamp lol it makes it a lot easier. Also make sure u have a tourqe wrench and tourque ur caliper bolts to spec. Do it right the first time. I didn't have to bleed my brakes or even mess with the brake fluid resievore

your caliper will not fit back on over the new pads...... you dont have to use a c clamp either, you can use channel locks if you want.

Good luck lol....all I'm saying is from my personal experience the only thing I found that worked was a c-clamp, trust me I tried without one.

lol if you dont want to listen to the guys who have done it why not just not use a C clamp. after you try you will probably end up using a c clamp pushing the piston back in. if your brake fluid is already capped off when you are changing your brakes open up the brake fluid cap because the chances are that the fluid will spill out because of the extra brake fluid you don't need.
