According to your question I am assuming you are talking about the brake caliper. If so take the lid off of the the master cylinder. (where you put the brake fluid.) use your old brake pad and you will need a C-Clamp. Put the C-Clamp in the center of the old brake pad and tighten the clamp until the caliper piston can't go back any further. Put the new brakes on go back with installation. NOTE> DO NOT push the brake pedal while the top of the Master Cylinder lid is off. PUt The lid on then you can hit the brake pedal.

How does a piston work on an airplane?
One believes you are talking about piston engines- such as a V-l2 or Flat-6 as opposed to Jet or turbine engines. almost all automobiles with the exception of the Rotary-engined Mazda, use piston internal-combustion engines. With aircraft there are piston engined, Turbo-Prop, and straight turbine or turbo-jets. Rockets are a bit out of the pale for common use.
If you are going to replace the front and rear pads and rotors on a 2002 VW Passat 1.4l turbo is there anything special you need to know?
On a 1998 Passat, if you push the piston on the rear caliper in without turning it the caliper is destroyed. You need to buy a special tool to turn the caliper as it is being pushed in. There are some persons on EBAY selling universal brake caliper piston pushing tools on EBAY. If you just push it in, it will not automatically readjust the brakes. You will have very hot rear rotors from the constant rubbing.

You have a 1988 ford turbo coupe you tried to put new brake pads in and found that you can't push the caliper piston in so that the pads will fit the around the rotor?
Yes, that's always a problem with disk brake calipers. I use a large "C" clamp to bring the caliper piston back. Just tighten it slowly and it shouldn't be much trouble. Those things are really annoying sometimes but if you just work the clamp slowly and don't get impatient it should work well for you.
