Get a haynes guide or download the fsm.

To get the piston to go in, you need rotate it with some pliers. It's not too difficult after that.

fsm free to download? and is the piston easy to remove? i have experience replacing my front brakes and rotors so if the piston is the only thing different i can probably do it by myself without buying a guide.

You don't have to remove the piston. You have to turn it back down into the caliper. There's a special tool you can use to make things easier and it's fairly cheap.

just use pliers, that's what i do. and just twist it in, its not that hard at all

if you did the fronts without a problem, the rears shouldnt be bad either. if you wanted a guide check out http://www.autozone.com and click on the repair guides part. pliers worked just fine for me, but the socket cube makes it pretty easy too.

Yeah, the only thing different from the front is to get the piston retracted you must turn the piston clockwise with needle nose pliers. There are 4 grooves in the piston at 90 degree angles. Latch onto two and spin away, it might take a bit of turning before you get it to move, mine went in right away though.crzycav86's avitar is a Ferrari 550 or 360, my guess is 360.Woot to the Ferrari!
