Caliper Piston... PLEASE HELP!!

Adding light weight rotors to my car this weekend with Hawk HPS Pads.

I need to know if I needed any special tool to push the piston in on any of the calipers? Do they simply push in or turn in?

Thanks in advance!!!!

They just push in. Use a c clamp with an old brake pad to push it back. Make sure you take the cap off of your brake fluid reservoir! Put the brake pad against the piston and clamp them together, the piston will push back.

Just a warning on the Hawk HPS pads - they don't bite well in the cold and on initial braking. Be careful as the temp drops in Chi-town.
