how to replace the rear brake pads....
How do I replace the rear brake pads? Or should I say, how do I reset the rear caliper? I did the fronts with my caliper tool, went to do the backs.... And the caliper won't go in, not with the tool any way. Do I needs some sort of special tool?

HAAA! I wish I knew about this forum when I was replacing my rear brakes about 2 months ago, I ran into the same problem.
Yes, you need a special tool to SCREW the caliper pistons in. All the brakes I've changed in the past, you simply put a C clamp on them and pushed them in. ON the I30/maxima you have to screw them in. There's a metal square tool with a bunch of slots and edges that you pop onto a socket extension and just screw the piston back in. I got mine at Autozone for like $5. It's a piece of cake from there.
Good luck.
