Want this question answered?
I just changed my rotors and pads all the way around. The front pistons compress (used a C-clamp). The rear pistons screw clockwise back into the caliper. Good luck, I hope this helped. Rob in Idaho
Hey Nina==Take off the wheel then remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper on. Then pry on the caliper to compress the piston and remove the caliper. Hang the caliper with a coat hanger or wire and don't let it hang by the hose. Goodluck Joe
Chevy came up with the brilliant idea of turn in calipers a number of years back. Check the inside of the caliper piston cup. If you see a square depression in the center, it is a turn or twist in caliper. DO NOT try to compress it. You'll damage the caliper and increase your brake job costs. Chances are when a brake caliper wont compress it is the type that must be turned and compressed at the same time and requires a special tool that you can borrow from a local chain auto parts like Auto Zone. That was the case on my 96 Buick Riveria rear disk brakes.
center the piston cup with a Clamp and turn back slow until the cup set back in place
2 the right butt on some of them U have 2 compress the piston AS U are turning IT 2 the right & also the bleeder screw should b open AS not 2 compress old brake fliud backwards into the Master Cylinder.
