rear brakes on the 1996 ford thunder bird caliper is a screw caliper . yes or no...
Look at the pistons in the caliper. If it is a cup type piston there could be several reasons for this, (requiring researching technical manuals). But if it is a solid piston with what appears to be 4 raised tabs around the piston in a + configuration this suggests that you may need to screw the piston back into the caliper turning it clockwise. Sometimes this takes quite a bit of turning. Otherwise the pistons are stuck, or you might need to open the bleed screws and compress the pistons as some vehicles have one-way pressure valves in the system. . To add a '96 cutlass caliper piston has to be screwed in clockwise with also applying steady pressure
be sure to purcahse the tool to "screw" the caliper piston in. If you try to push the piston in on rear disc brakes you will damange the caliper.
Remove wheels Loosen 2 caliper mounting bolts and remove Remove Rotor (if peel off type) Resecure caliper Remove brake pads Need to get special tool to retract piston into caliper Do not retract using "C" clamp these pistons have to screw back into calpier (Clockwise) After piston retracted totally install new brake pads and reverse procedure to install DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE UNTIL BRAKE IS PUMPED TO RESET PADS TO CALIPER
There are kits available that let you bleed the brakes automatically and without the need for another person to assist you. If you do not have the kit, have a friend pump the brakes and hold the pedal down while you loosen the bleeder screw on the caliper. Repeat that process until no more air pops out between adjustments.

You have to screw in the pistons into the calibers, they don't just press in, there is a tool that makes it alot easier to screw in. Other than that it's the standard way to change the pads etc.
The spindle/caliper bracket is threaded.
