Hey all,
I'm changing my pads and rotors all around. friont went fine but i cant figure out how to compress the back pistons. i tried turning the piston and compressing them but neither work. can someone help me. please. i need my car for tomorrow. thanks.

 

they suck[:@] But I always twist them out then in make sure you have your brake fluid cap loose

 

do you have this?

tool
made the job a breeze for me

 

Need the tool, or superhuman strength and patience. If you aren't an X-man or some other Marvel superhero I recommend you go and rent the tool for free at Checker/Kragen. I actually destroyed a rear caliper trying to force it in with pliers and my incredible super-strength.

 

thanks man. u saved my ****.

 

yea the rears need to be twisted while they are compressed. rent the tool at autozone, its free.

 

i had a universal brake piston tool. it's a box with a different adapter on each side. so there are 6 adapters. there is also a square hole on each face where a 3/8" ratchet and extension go in. so i had to hold my caliper in my left hand and unscrew the piston with a ratchet in my right hand and then screw it in as far as i could go. What a pain in the butt.. but now i know what needs to be done and hopefully anyone else with the problem will too. that special tool u guys suggested looks a whole lot easier tho. wish i had 1 at the time. thanks again guys.
