I, m doing a rear brake pad and rotor replacement
on the provided car, i, d like to know some specifics
on adjusting the parking brake on this car, and when
installing the new pads can the brake caliper on the rear be reset with a c-clamp? Or do I need a caliper
reset tool for new pad installation?
thanks Joe

Yes, a "C" clamp will work to compress the calipers. The emergency brake is a standard "shoe" system with a star adjuster, seperate from the pads and are adjustable through the backing plate or with the cable.
