Yepper, I have an 8 inch C clamp ready to go for this job. I pretty much will be following every step in both of these vids (every article / vid I have seen is pretty much summed up across these two below. I have scoured the internet and these are the two best vids):

Honestly when it comes time for me to do brake rotors and pads I think I am going to jsut go ahead and purchase this tool:

Way easier to work with than using a C Clamp (or PryBar) and risk damaging the piston or seals on my caliper....

Just my .02....

Just make sure you loosen the cap on your master cylinder so you don't damage anything when you compress the caliper pistons, and remember to tighten it once you're done.

If you are doing all 4 make sure the brake fluid isn't going to overflow before you move on to compressing the next caliper piston.

Again just my suggestion from Experience.

These are good replies!

yeah, if you watch in the vids too, they open the bleeder valve and attach it to a brake bleeder kit when compressing the pistons. They also clamp the hose with that Sears hose clamp tool that I also got for this. I think I am going to go this route when it comes time to do these calipers.

I went with the slotted EBC Ultimax rotors and the EBC brake pads so we'll see what happens!

Thanks for the replies guys!
