Rear Brake Pad Swap Help!

[COBRyan]

Anyone familiar with the rear brakes on 96 and up GTs/Cobras? I am going to swap out the pads Saturday so I was just looking for some advice or tips. I have never done a brake pad install before so this will be a first. I will have a couple friends over to help, but just wanted to get some tips first. I believe a special tool is needed to push and turn in the piston (I guess needle nose pliers will work fine too). Anyone care to explain the install process?? Thanks!

You'll notice that different people used different tools to push the pads calipers apart. I would definitely recommend the RIGHT tool, not needle nose pliers, and NOT something that "will work" (if you grind down the ears, etc.). It will make your life a lot better (ask me how I know!)
