How To Change Brake Pads?
When I took my 09 SG in for inspection the tech told me I was borderline on my brake pads. So I ordered a new set. I was kinda surprised how thin the new pads are.
My question is this. When you take out the old pads can you just push the pistons back in with your fingers? Do I need to remove the master cylinder lid to make room for the brake fluid? I watched a You-Tube video and the guy just pushed them in with his fingers. I don't want brake fluid all over the place...

Yes, take your master cylinder cover off or you wont' be able to compress the brake piston. Wrap a rag around it and you should be able to then compress the piston with your thumb.
