Kia's have rear calipers with screw in pistons. You must buy a tool from your local auto parts store called a "cube" it has little notches that fit into grooves on the piston. Then attach a standard socket and screw in the piston.

Why does your brake pedal go down and you feel a crunching sensation when you brake?

Pads are worn out, and your Mater Cylinder is possibly bad. Inspect the brake pads and replace as necessary. Inspect the rotor for damage and have it turned or replace it. If after replacing the pads/rotors, if the brake pedal slowly goes down when applying the brakes, replace the master cylinder.

The rear disc brake piston needs to turn as it is retracted / compressed into the caliper.Go to the parts store and tell them you need the brake cylinder retraction tool. Cost about 10 bucks and works for a variety of cars/vans.It is a square with a couple of different teeth on each face, to align with the notches in the face of the brake piston.Should work with a 3/8 drive ratchet. Clockwise facing the cylinder to retract. Have fun!
