I have a 2003 volkswagon Jetta and need to know how to change the back brakes and rotars. We have the pads off already we just need to know someone told us we have to spin the pistons. We don't know what they mean. Does anyone know any step by step instructions? Or site that give free step by step instructions. We are stuck in the middle of the brake repair now.

Go rent or buy the caliper tool, it is used to turn or screw the pistons back into the caliper. Make sure when you are done the notch in the piston, lines up with the tab on the new pads.
