[QUOTE="Shelby_SVT_2012, post: 15288148, member: 177010"] I just did brake pads on all four wheels on my 2012 and I was surprised at how easy it was. Note that your rear caliper pistons can NOT be pressed in with a c clamp like your front ones. You need to rent the special tool at your local auto parts place and turn them clockwise in order to compress them. Be sure to lubricate the piston too before compressing it or you'll end up tearing the boot like I did :bash: Luckily, I was able to remove the caliper and replace the boot with a $7.99 repair kit from Oreilly's! I would also suggest resurfacing your rotors if the thickness is within spec, 17.4 mm for the rear and 30.0 mm for the front. [/QUOTE]
