    Hey look at that, my first post to a Chrysler group...

    My father has a minivan that has needed new front brakes ever since my
    brother's mechanic-buddy gave it a brake job a few years ago. I figure he
    turned the rotors below spec and warped the heck out of them. So, since I
    have some time off next week I might as well do the brakes when I change the
    oil. Is there anything special to worry about while compressing the pistons
    back into the calipers? It doesn't have ABS. I'm pretty much just wondering
    if the pistons need to be rotated in or if they're just pushed straight back
    like my GM's are. Anything else I should look out for?

    They push straight back.
    Be sure to remove the cap on the master cylinder and place something below
    to catch the overflow.

    Sure is. Just did pads and rotors on my 95 Caravan (same basic setup) and it
    took a less than 45 minutes to do both sides.

    Don't push the old fluid back into the reservoir. Connect a small hose to the
    bleeder valve
    and then push the piston straight back, the fluid can be caught in a container.
    It's not a good
    idea to push the old fluid back into the system.
