Since the "How To" install rear brakes link doesn't work....

can anyone please give me some help/advice as to how to do this? I've done the fronts twice so far, but haven't had the need to replace the rears yet. I've searched the net and can't find anything.......need some help here, guys. Thanks!

Its the same as the fronts. Only thing different is in order to compress the calipers you will need a special tool that fits into the notches on the piston. Or you can use the needle nose plier method.

the needle nose plier method?

can you explain a little more about the needle nose plier method? Or where do I find the "special tool" that makes it easier. I really need to replace them tomorrow - went & ordered the brakes today. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
