Rear Pads?

yes you can diy but you will need a brake rewind tool to reset the pistons.you cannot simply push them back in because it is auto adjusted by the hand brake.the rewind tool will turn the piston back and forth until its fully seated so you can get the new pads in.check out ebay for the rewind tool.

If you've done front pads the only real thing different about doing rear disc pads is that the caliper piston needs to be wound back it but there are plenty of videos on you tube to show you the procedure

e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlMU8K36Hjo&feature=related

take a look, you'll need to clamp the flexy before pushing the piston back so that you can let excess fluid out of the bleed nipple. That way you won't risk flipping the master cylinder seals. The cube tool can be obtained off ebay for about £7, see

Browse through youtube because there really are plenty of helpful videos that cover the whole procedure in full detail.
