so i'm changing out my front pads...simple right? well i got the caliper pressed in about a 1/2" and cannot get the friggn' thing moving any further. I've removed the master cylinder cap to releave pressure, but it really doesn't seem to be working.

any ideas of what i can do?

 

What are you using to compress the piston?

 

Just a C clamp...i'm having to crank so hard on it, that i'm actually bending the lever on the clamp...

 

Hm, shouldn't have to crank on it that hard. What kinda shape are the calipers in? How to the piston seals look? Might be seized.

 

You can try bleeding brake fluid through the bleeder screw. Just make sure to replace fluid in the master cylinder if it goes below LOW after you are done.

 

ya...determined it was seized, and picked up a new caliper. Pain in the a$$, but needed to be done. thanks for the responces fellas...
