How do you push the front caliper piston back after changing brakes on vectra?

Use a "C" clamp to collapse the caliper piston. Use one of the old pads across the face of the piston. If you use the clamp on the bottom of the piston it is possible to crack the piston. Using the old pad spreads the pressure to both sides of the piston. That is if the piston is a cup. If it is solid on the face then it screws in, but I believe this type is only used on the rear brakes of cars.


How do you repair a hairline crack near core plug?

This is not easy. You're talking about a small crack in the engine block, I assume. Ideally you should stop the crack from getting longer by drilling a small hole at the exact end of it. Then the crack needs to be welded, probably after the engine has come out (depending on accessibility). But this is a hell of a big job for a small hairline crack. You may find that cleaning the area throughly and using one of the epoxy pastes around (JB Weld is a very good one) that you can achieve a good repair cheaply and easily. But drill the small hole first.

Buy a small universal piston retractor from an auto supply shop (square in shape with strange different shapes coming out of it) find the correct side of the tool, the one that best fits the grooves on the piston. Attach the piston retractor tool to your ratchet Rotate the piston back into the caliper as you would with a bolt or screw.
