Best to just buy a rebuilt caliper complete. Cost is about 20 bucks or so.
How do you compress the rear break caliper, pistons on a 2002 Sierra ?

If your timing belt were to break while the engine is operating, the camshafts would be out of time with the crankshaft. This 'out of time' would cause the valves to open at incorrect times in regard to the crankshaft/pistons. This break in the timing belt could cause valves to bend or break as well as damage the head itself; pistons could also become damaged in the process.
I change mine every 8 yrs, just to be on the safe side, because if it were to break, the pistons will slam into the valves bending them and causing a MAJOR repair bill.
on some engine designs when the timing slips or is wrong the valve train will hit the pistons. something has to break, the valves, pistons, or the rods will bend.
The 2000 Mercury Villager uses a timing belt and has a non-interference engine. Which means that if the timing belt were to break that no engine damage would occur from the valves and pistons hitting each other.
The freezing of mercury is a reversible physical change because it can be melted back into a liquid state through the application of heat. When mercury freezes, its molecules slow down and solidify into a crystalline structure, but this process can be reversed by adding energy to break these bonds and return it to its liquid form.
To remove the inside door panel of a Mercury Topaz, first, ensure the window is fully closed and disconnect the battery for safety. Start by removing any screws or clips holding the panel in place, often found near the door handle and armrest. Carefully pry off the panel using a flat tool or your hands, being cautious not to break any clips. Once free, gently lift the panel upwards to detach it from the door frame.
If you break a mercury thermometer, do not touch the mercury with your bare hands. Use gloves and carefully pick up the mercury beads with a piece of paper or cardboard. Place the mercury in a sealed container and contact your local environmental agency for proper disposal instructions.
The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.
The valves get bent by the pistons and the head/pistons an be damaged. In expreme cases the connecting rods can become bent or break and the crankshaft bearings can become damaged.
No it does not, it is a non-interferenceif the timing belt break the valves will not collide into the pistons.
