I've hunted through previous posts for info on changing the rear brake pads on my '94 accord. Before I tear into this I want to get my head (and tools) in order. Rear brakes weren't done, because couldn't get pads separated out enough to fit over rotors. I'm hoping that the previous people who worked on this didn't damage anything.
Here's what I gleaned from posts I read:
1a) do not compress w/ C-clamp
1b) there is a special "rear brake pistol tool" which is used to "rotate the piston into the caliper"

2a) Use "brake quiet" or "brake lube" between pad and shim to avoid brake squealing
2b) If still squeaking - use OEM pads
2c) OEM pads are "softer" so they don't make as much noise, but wear out after about 15K (but don't wear out rotors as fast) <<gee, I wish I had known that before>>

Any other info anyone wants to toss my way would be appreciated!
Thanks,
