YOUR GOING TO NEED A BRAKE CUBE, I BELIEVE THE ONLY WAY TO DEPRESS CALIPER IS TO SCREW IT BACK IN. ABOUT 13.00 BUCKS
I was able to use the open end of a 3/4 inch box wrench to retract the caliper. Just stick it straight into the groves then I used a wracthet handle in the closed end of the wrench to spin it. Of course the proper tool is a better idea but if you already have the car apart as I did works in a pinch.
Howie:great advise on the caliper it does screw in but when you at turning it you can also if you have on use a pully fork and a pair of channel locks to turn caliper, faster and saves you 25.00 at autozone.

How do the brake caliper go back on a 1985 linclon mark 6 do you us a tool what tools?
The front brake caliper should retract with minimal effort with the aid of a c-clamp and an old brake pad. If it takes alot of pressure to make it retract I would replace the caliper. The rear brake caliper is a different story because it houses the e-brake also. The brake caliper piston must be rotated clockwise as you apply pressure to retract it. This requires a special tool that you can purchase from your local auto parts store. This tool is not expensive, it should be less than $20.
