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 compress rear calipers on a 1995 Maxima?
If they are the same as a 97 Maxima then you twist them, don't compress them. To compress the piston you do it with a 'Disk Brake Piston Tool'. You can get this at Pep Boys for $12. To compress the piston on the passenger side you turn the piston clockwise. To compress the piston on the driver side you turn the piston counter-clockwise. Be careful trying to turn the piston using pliers or some other tool as you may tear the rubber seal around the piston.

How do you reset the brake caliper piston on a 1995 Mazda protege?
After changing pads? - pump brake pedal to set pads against rotor To retract to change pads? If parking brake is not connected to this caliper - compress piston into caliper body with a "C" clamp - if parking brake is installed on this unit a special tool (not expensive) is required because piston is threaded Tool is available at Sears or auto parts ========================= If you're talking about the rear disk pads, they are adjusted using a small screw (hidden behind a nother screw) on the caliper which adjusts the parking brake. You need to turn this screw to back off the calipers in order to install the new pads. Since the calipers are threaded, no amount of pushing will retract them.
