How do you get piston in front and rear brake caliper to retract back into the caliper so you can change pads on a 2004 Crown Victoria?
If you do not want to spend any money, then, put the old pads in and use a bar or screw driver to force the pistons back................BUT, in all good sense, just go to your local auto parts and buy a small tool that will do the job for you. It is not expensive, then put the old pads in and put the tool between them, and just turn the screw. It will force the pistons back with no damage. If in the event the pistons are very hard to retract, then I would suggest to replace the calipers. Good luck.
