I need to change the rear disc brakes on a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. I've never done rear discs before, only drums. Are the rear the same as the front with the exception of instead of squeezing the piston back in the caliper a special tool is needed to turn it back in? Are there any sites on the net with some good pictures? Thank you.

Thanks Brad and Ralph. I bought the cube type tool with different sides for different pistons. I'll give it a try. I appreciate your help.

Yes,same as front,except you need a tool to turn,and push the piston at the same time.
I have a Matco that pushes and turns at the same time,but they're spendy.A less expensive tool is sold at part stores and it looks like a cube with different spaced pegs(for various apps).
Some part stores like Auto zone will borrow you the tool if you buy their pads.~brad

I don't know about the Oldsmobile but on some cars you can use something like a pair of needle-nosed pliers to thread the piston in.
