I read a post on this blog about chaging the rear brakes on a 2005 ford freestyle. I know I need a special tool however, the instructions did not specify if the LH pistion equats to the rear driver side or visa versa. The explanations just says the LH piston turns CW and the RH turns CCW. Is the LH piston on the rear driver side and the RH piston on the rear passenger side? Which is it?

Thanks

Lh side is always the driver's side. And they are talking about the piston turning due to that being the parking brake so it has to be turned back in. You can rent the tool at an auto parts store. See attached.
