I am changing rotors and pad on my wife's G6 this weekend. Any tips? This is the first time I have done a brake job 100% on my own.

You need a special tool to get the pistons pressed in the rear calipers.

Yeah, let us know if you are only doing the fronts. That way I won't post a bunch of useless information.

C clamp is fine on the fronts, rears require the "borg tool".
