You can adjust the brake pistons by adjusting the brake piston adjustment screw. Turn the screw to the right in order to back off the brake piston.
They are the same as the EJ22 4 cylinder pistons. They can be purchased from numerous aftermarket resellers if you want forged pistons. Cast pistons would be from the dealer, if even still available.
sounds like your brakes need bleeding properly
It's just a typical pad change, , except the pistons SCREW IN, rather than push in. You need a special driver tool that can be purchased at any auto parts store. Screw the pistons in CLOCKWISE on both sides of the car to make clearance for the new pads. Hope this helps. Tom It's just a typical pad change, , except the pistons SCREW IN, rather than push in.

No. Standard 350 engines have 4.00" pistons, standard 400 pistons are 4.125".
The Pistons originated in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
It's underneath the hood, below the pistons. In order to reach it, take a wrench (special wrenches can be purchased online) and remove the engine block.
Rotary engines do not have pistons.
