I had same problem, 1st see if you can pry open the piston just a little bit by

shoving a flat screw driver between rotor & brake pad. And or in my case I

had to grind off the edge of the rotor as tall as the pad in order to slide out the

pads.Then replace the unit..

How do you remove a caliper that is stuck on the rotor 95 cutlass supreme SL?

Usually you can put a screwdriver between the edge of the rotor and the caliper and pry up on it. Stuck from rust, heat, or piston in caliper will not release? Rust, heat, it will pry up. Not releasing, open bleeder screw if possible without breaking it off.


What do you do if the C clamp will not push the ear of the brake caliper in so you can change the pads on a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?

Look at the pistons in the caliper. If it is a cup type piston there could be several reasons for this, (requiring researching technical manuals). But if it is a solid piston with what appears to be 4 raised tabs around the piston in a + configuration this suggests that you may need to screw the piston back into the caliper turning it clockwise. Sometimes this takes quite a bit of turning. Otherwise the pistons are stuck, or you might need to open the bleed screws and compress the pistons as some vehicles have one-way pressure valves in the system. . To add a '96 cutlass caliper piston has to be screwed in clockwise with also applying steady pressure

Why is the caliper on my car not retracting properly?

The caliper on your car may not be retracting properly due to a few reasons, such as a stuck piston, worn out seals, or air in the brake lines. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the caliper to ensure safe braking performance.

Why is the brake caliper not retracting properly?

The brake caliper may not be retracting properly due to issues such as a stuck piston, worn out seals, or debris blocking the movement. These issues can prevent the caliper from releasing pressure on the brake pads, causing them to drag against the rotor.


Where is the ABS Computer on a 1991 Caprice and how can you disconnect it so it can release pressure on a caliper?

that's not how you relese pressure on the caliper. you disconnect the brake fluid hose from the caliper and that will relese the pressure. if the caliper still won't move then you need to take the caliper apart and clean it good because the piston is most likely getting stuck.
