Remove the top bolt on the caliper. you need to turn the bolt while holding the nut. The caliper will pivot on the lower bolt. Remove the old pads and you can now push the piston while turning it clockwise to screw it into the cylinder. You have to push and turn because the cylinder is threaded, but only part way.

What is procedure for compressing rear disc brake piston on 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Screw the piston puck in clockwise. There is a tool for this (KN or KY) that is a box with little dowel pins to fit the slots in the caliper piston. What you are actually doing is resetting the parking brake. As the pads wear and you set the parking brake, each actuation of the parking brake foot lever ratchets the piston outward to componsate for pad wear.

How do I get the front rotor off of an 2006 Chevy Silverado?
Loosen lug nuts. Jack up vehicle, support on jack stand. Remove wheel. I like to spray down the entire brake assembly with brake cleaner first, have a catch bucket underneath. Remove caliper body. Remove rotor. Installation is the reverse of removal. You may have to remove the brake pads in order to depress the caliper piston to get the caliper back over the new rotor (depending on how worn your old rotor is)

How do you depress the piston back on rear brake caliper of a Renault megane?
Remove the caliper from the hub and with either pipe grips or a 12mm spanner on one of the four lobes turn clockwise to screw in, it will only do maybe 1 revolution then tap with a light hammer and do again. This takes ages but stick at it. Strangely both sides are Right Hand threads and you need gap of 40mm from piston to clamp to clear new pads, this was on Megane CC 2006. Andrew H
