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.
