Changing rear brakes

[Ironmerganser]

I am going to be changing front and rear pads this weekend. Do I need to screw the rear pistons in on the rear callipers to get them compressed to get the new pads in or do they just compress like the front ones?

Thanks!!

Compress on the rear just like the front on my 2001.

All you need is an old brake pad and a big C-clamp.

How many miles did you get out of them?

Well.....I bought the truck at 62k and it has 70k on it now. When I inspected them, they looked to me to be the originals. I don't think 70k on brakes is bad.
