Recently purchased a set of rear brake pads at the dealership but was warned by the parts person that you can damage the calipers if you don't have the special tool to compress the piston in the caliper to allow the new pads to fit. Something about the the pistons being in spiral grooves. Is there anything special that I should know about replacing the pads on the rear of a 2000 Passat? thanks,
