i changed out all 3 of my brakes.. couldnt get the screw off the rotor.. so i decided to just change the brakes.. rotor screws are a bitch.. i think i stripped one .. when i was changeing my last one.. i couldnt get my caliper on for some reason.. it took me like 2 hours and i decided to give up.. is there any special way getting those things in.. im not getting them in a right angle or something.. i got lucky 3 times? :\ anywho my back hurts.. im pooped..

 

For your front brakes, you must use a c-clamp to compress the caliper piston back in. For the rear brakes, use a large flat-head screwdriver to screw the caliper piston in. Fit it inbetween two of the four teeth and rotate clockwise. You'll also need to make sure you align the cutout with the tab on the back of the brake pad.

 

For the rotor screws, you MUST use an Impact driver to break the screws loose. As for the other 3, like you said, you got lucky. Good luck!

 

Mr. Dood-
I went to change my spark plugs, & there were no spark plugs. The wires were just stuffed into the holes! (j/k)

Yes, you're actually looking at the bottom of the caliper piston.
What SpecR said is very, uh, "word-like": Get an impact driver ($8-10US). They're cool tools to have. It's a screwdriver that's made to absorb and convert into a screw-turning motion the impact when hit with a hammer. Perfect for those rotor screws. And when you re-install your fasteners, put some anti-seize compound so you'll be less likely to go thru that crap again.
