I'm changing the brake pads on my 2003 Town and Country and I'm hitting a snag. There are two rubber casings with what look like steel bolts coming out of them. I am fairly positive that is where the caliper bolts are but I have no idea how to get these two steel pieces off. Any Ideas?

That's exactly what it sounds like you should do (it's what I have to do when I work on Audis).

SOURCE: how do i compress the caliper piston on rear

you should have to turn in the caliper piston there is a special tool for this looks like a cube and has different notches on it for different cars,you can get it at like autozone for cheap $5 or less,,but you attach it to the extension and then a ratchet and turn the caliper in,,,,you ccan try to use a needle nose pliers to turn it in but thats not always easy,,turn it clockwise til it stops,,it will almost be flush with the housing

SOURCE: Replacing bulbs in tail lights in a Town and Country.

1. Open your tailgate.
2. Look for two (2) round flat black discs about the size of a dime (but thicker) on the inside of the body (between the red lens and the weather striping).
3. Using a pair of pliers, pull out each of these two discs.
   • Note they are in tight and may require a fair bit of force to remove.
4. Make sure the inner part of the disc also comes out. There are two parts to this system, a grommet and a plug:
   1. Push the plug backwards through the grommet.
      • The grommet fits into the actual hole in the body, and is spread by the plug, the pressure holding them in place.
   2. Carefully remove both grommet and plug.
      • The lens assembly will fall away from the vehicle when you pull out the second grommet so be careful.
5. Note the wiring harness that connects to a plug inside. Beside that plug are two holders for the actual bulbs.
6. Remove the holder by pressing the sides inwards and pulling. The light socket should come out.

2008 Chrysler Town and Country
Replacing the Rear Brake Pads

Process is typical except for the rotating (screw type) brake piston. You cannot just compress the brake piston with a C-clamp, you have to turn the piston back in. This is easily done with the correct tool (Rear Disc Brake Piston Tool). The tool I had needed to be slightly modified to fit Chrysler's pattern.

Most Auto Parts store like Auto Zone and Parts Source will have the tools for lone or you can buy the tool and keep it in your tool box and the price ranges from $12.00 to $50.00 depending on the brake tool as to universal or specific to the vehicle make. Good luck and keep me posted.
