loosen the bleeder screw and use a c-clamp to depress the caliper. some technicians like to use a thin piece of wood to guide the caliper in evenly, but if you have the screw part of the c-clamp in the center of the piston you should be fine

How do you push down the caliper on an 08 Honda accord?
There's a little screw on the side of the caliper with a whole in the top of it. Loosen that a little bit and you should just be able to push in the caliper. They make a tool which is basically a bar and a screw so the bar pushes on the mounting part of the caliper and the screw pushes on the caliper piston.

How do you compress the rear brake caliper piston in a 1994 Pontiac grand prix?
Rear calipers are threaded and have to be "screwed" (because parking brake uses rear calipers) Tool available at Sears or auto parts--not expensive Get a 4 inch C clamp, put the old brake shoe back in place on the piston side and screw down the C clamp. This should do it. If not open the bleeder on this caliper & it will then go in. Be sure to Bleed The Brakes on the rear after this. cartalk says: Nix on the C clamp, as the Piston needs to be turned to go back in(self-adjuster) clamping will destroy parts... good luck dave Answer (12/19/08) Dave is right on... I just changed my rear brake pads on my '04 Grand Prix. The caliper piston face has a pattern on it that lines up with a "pin" on the back side brake pad. I bought a tool for $15 from O'Reilly AutoParts that is a "universal" tool that has he "pin" pattern to fit several car makes & models. The piston turned back into the caliper VERY easily. Just be sure to line up the piston face like it was when you first started so it will line up with the back side brake pad "pin". Mike
