do not use a c clamp parking brake is on fnt. calipers you remove a 13mm hex bolt and then use a allen wrench to retract the piston, after new pads are installed the allen wrench is used again to expand the piston untill the rotor wont turn then back off 3/4 to 1 full turn and reinstall the bolt [this setting will allow clearance for the rotor to turn freely but be close enough for parking brake to be effective] i strongly urge you to purchase a shop manual for your car

you need a large enough c clamp that will fit on the colapsable part and the outside of the cylinder. you will also need a small piece of wood inbetween the c clamp and the colapsable side to squeese it together evevly
