it is easy first you need to get the too for rear brakes, i forgot what it is called, but it is a cube, and it attaches to a quarter inch socket. first you have to disconnect the the e brake, you can do it with a socket wrench, i for got what size what socket, depended on which side you are working on the the direction of turning the socket changes, one you releave tension, on the e brake you can disconnect it easliey, you can do it with out a socket rench, but it will be hard. then you take off the two bolts that hold the caliper in place on the bracket, once you got the bolts off use a flathed screwdriver, or prybar to remove the caliper. once you got the caliper off remove pads, and get the tool, just go to advanced auto, and say you need the tool for rear brake on a forigen car. attach the tool to the socket wrench and place on the caliper, the cube has four different attachments for the calliper so use the side that corrensponds with the calliper. so with the cube attached to the socket wrench put it on the calliper and and turn clockwise till the calliper is all the way in, it might take some force to turn it back it depending on the last time the pad were changed. just be pacient and use a lot of force, it is cheaper to do it your self then to pay someone to change it for you
Brake piston? Front use a "C" clamp to compress Rear - Piston is threaded turn clockwise to compress (water pump pliers?)
You will need a caliper rewinding tool
It requires a special tool to turn and compress the piston in at the same time.
the piston on the rear calipers will turn in a clockwise motion and that is how they retract.
Rewind it with a piston rewind tool or, at a pinch, use needle nose pliers.
To compress the rear brake caliper piston on a 1995 Buick Riviera, you'll need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the caliper from its mounting bracket and support it without stressing the brake line. Then, place the tool or C-clamp over the caliper piston and gently compress the piston back into the caliper housing. Ensure you also open the brake fluid reservoir to prevent pressure buildup, and check brake fluid levels afterwards.
To compress the rear brake caliper piston on a 2003 Acura MDX, you need to first ensure the brake fluid reservoir is capped to prevent overflow. Use a caliper tool or a C-clamp to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. Make sure to apply even pressure and check that the brake pads are properly aligned as you compress the piston. Once fully compressed, you can reassemble the caliper and install it back onto the vehicle.
To compress the rear brake calipers on a 2008 Taurus X, you will need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the wheel and brake caliper to access the piston. Then, either use the caliper tool to rotate the piston back into the caliper housing or place the C-clamp over the caliper and gently compress the piston straight back. Ensure the brake fluid reservoir is checked to avoid overflow during this process.
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.
Shade tree mechanics use a C-clamp and a flat steel bar to compress the piston. I have also used a large adjustable Channel-Lok-type pliers to compress.
need a special tool to turn them back in the dont press in
You need to rotate the piston counter clockwise.
