Caliper front? Use a "C" Clamp Caliper rear? Threaded Need a special tool available at Sears or auto parts (Not expensive)
Either your parking brake ( emergency brake ) is on or the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW
The brake master cylinder has nothing to do with the way the car runs. It certainly wouldn't cause it to stall.....Maybe the brake booster?
The brake master cylinder on a 1955 Pontiac is bolted to the frame rail under the steering shaft.
with a c clamp. put a block of wood or your old pad over the piston and tighten with clamp.
someone sits in the car slowly pressing the brake peddle while you have the brake line open. When finished bleeding the brakes, don't forget to refill the master cylinder.
Replace the caliper and bleed the brake system.
I have used a large "C" clamp, to compress the caliper flush to the face.
You will need to remove the tire and wheel from your 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. Remove the brake assembly spring from the brake pads. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
there is a special tool that can be purchased at any auto parts store made specifically for compressing brake caliper pistons. I personally use a 4 inch c-clamp. works every time.

I have a 01 Volvo and I had the same problem trying to compress the rear brake cyinder. Turns out that a car that has 4 wheel disc brakes, the cylinder screws in. You have to buy a universal tool from the auto parts store and it will go in enough to replace the brake pads..
yes
