I will be replacing the rear brake pads and rotors on my 2009 GC, picked up the tool required to seat the caliper piston. last time I did my brakes was on a 1995 Concorde, not quite the same. To confirm the piston has to be turn clockwise (Right)? With the Concorde the rear rotors were difficult to take off due to the parking brake, any tricks that could help make this easier?

When I get to the front is there anything special to know or is it pretty standard?

 

I was reading a bit further I have another question, does the e-brake on this van use the caliper or is it a drum inside the disc?

 

Yes the piston turns in clockwise & the e-brake uses the caliper, there is no drum.

Thanks for the info

 

Just had another quick question in case I have an issue getting the rotor and need to try the trick where you use a bolt to force it off, what size bolt is the bolt for the caliper? I could not find the size anywhere and what to make sure I get one small enough.
