The brake calipers can be the same the front calipers on turbo cars is normally bigger as up to 90% of your braking force is on the front brakes but the back ones are somtimes bigger not always
The rear brake calipers screw back in. This is because of the park brake. There is a tool that you can either buy or rent from one of the larger parts stores.
it depends which model of vauxhall you are talking about. Most vauxhalls (Agila, Corsa, Astra, Meriva) have 5 seats. The vauxhall Zafira has 7 seats - 2 in the front, 3 in the back and another 2 which fold up in second back row.
Try pressing the "reset button" for the trip meter, pressing the brake pedal, and while holding them bot "pressed" turn the ignition on without starting the engine. If that does not work it needs to be done by a Vauxhall agent. If it was serviced recently by a Vauxhall agent just take it back and ask them to finish the job, as resetting the indicator is part of the service.
Lift the car, remove the car tires, remove the brake shoe/calipers and remove the old brake pads. Put in the new brake pads, replace the brake shoe/calipers, replace the tire and lower the car to the ground.
no. on the front brake calipers the pistons have to be pushed back into the calipers to make room for the new brake pads. on the rear brake calipers the pistons have to be SCREWED back into the calipers. there are notches on the inner edge of the piston rim. you can engage the notches with large needle nose pliers or a large flat washer. turn the piston clockwise as you face it to get it to go in.
The Calipers May Be Bad; Also The Brake Hoses Could Be Bad. On The Inside This Will Restrict The Flow Of Brake Fluid Back Into The Master Cylinder Causing The Caliper To Stay On. If You Replace The Calipers, Replace The Hoses Also.
1. Take the tire off 2. Take the brake calipers off. (there are 2 bolts on the back side of the calipers) then you can remove the calipers and rotors.
it is possible that your brake hoses are bad and soft not letting the brake fluid back out of your calipers
There is a plug in the back of the caliper that has an Allen head screw under it. You have to turn the screw all the way in and then back it off 1/3 of a turn.
If the parking brake is connected to these calipers they thread in clockwise special tool is available (not expensive) at Sears or auto parts If parking brake is not connected to these a "C" clamp should work to retract piston release the bleeder screw then either push them in or use a c-clamp to push them back in... this will waist a significant amount of brake fluid so make sure you have some handy I generally use a "C" clamp, but you can use whatever you have that will put pressure on the calipers to retract. The calipers move slowly and more pressure won't speed the process by much. If the calipers are moving, just keep even pressure on them.
front piston pushes back but rear is treaded and you have too screw it back in normal tread on this
