The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper. The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper.
some model's that have the parking brake Incorporated into the rear caliper, you must compress and turn the piston until the proper clearance is obtained.
It twists or screws in.
If it is the front brake use a "C" clamp to retract piston If it is the rear and the parking brake is used by this caliper piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) available at Sears or auto parts to "screw" piston into caliper body
Hydraulic force, transmitted by the brake fluid.
You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
The piston is forced out of the caliper by the pressure of the brake fluid. This pushes the brake pads against the rotor, in turn stopping the vehicle.
Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Use a "C" clamp to fully retract piston into caliper body If parking brake is used on this caliper piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) is required to thread piston into caliper body
Yes, there is such a thing as twin-piston calipers.
You probably have frozen brake caliper slider pins or a frozen brake caliper piston on one side.
this can be calculated by measurements of the bore
Clockwise to retract piston into caliper body
