What happened to brake pad change DIY? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Does the piston compress in or do you need to turn it to compress to put on new pads.
I did 4 wheel disc brakes on a pontiac and the front pushes in with a C-clamp but rear disc needed to turn to compress.

Piston simply compresses. Be sure to suck some of the fluid out of the m/cyl first, or better yet, crack open the bleeder while compressing the piston.
