How do you compress the rear brake caliper piston for 1995 Ford Thunderbird?
You can use a C-clamp to compress the caliper on just about any vehicle. You might want to place some rags near the Brake Master cylinder because brake fluid will travel back into it from what is left over in the brake lines. If you don't, you will spill brake fluid onto the floor.

How do you get calipers to compress on Ford Expedition?
Well it kind of depends on what the piston looks like. Does it have two holes on the head of the piston? If so, you will either need the special tool to compress it or you can try to use a set of needle nose pliers to push and turn it at the same time. If it doesn't have the two holes then all you should have to do is take the old brake pad and put on the piston (shim side to piston) get a C clamp and compress it (the brake pad will help protect the piston as well as help to provide even pressure across the piston as you compress). It may take some pressure but eventually you should see it start to compress. I have done several brake jobs myself and this way works the best. Hope this helps and goodluck. note* - I have read that when compressing the piston you should have the bleeder screw open to allow some of the fluid to escape as you compress the piston. Also you could have the brake fluid reservoir cover open to allow for the fluid to escape that way. I have done both and they have worked fine for me.
