    Its been a long time since I did brake pads. To avoid braking problems after changing the brake pads give me some advice on how to change it the right way. Should I use a C-clamp to push the brake pressure? Getting new/newer rotors too. Dont want to mess up my brake lines/pressures.(rear only)
    I dont want to be like my one of my buddy where he took about a block to stop his car after changing his pads.

    always always.. after changing pads and pushing piston back into caliper... BEFORE starting car, PUMP PUMP PUMP brakes till you have pedal... then drive slower and hit brakes hard a couple of times....
