When changing the rear brakes, does the brake caliper require a special tool to condense the cylinder or will a clamp do? If the caliper requires the special tool for Dodge, then is the tool universal? as I have access to a similar tool used on a Chevy.. Any other gotchas I should be aware of, especially with regard to anit-lock brakes? Is simply changing the pads and rotors all around front & back going to cause the ALB system to hiccup in any way. Are there any special considerations?

Doesnt look like anything special is req'd to do it.Be nice when compressing calipers , do it slowly , and all should be ok.
