If the piston has come out, the caliper will need replaced.
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.
You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
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
Dual piston caliper, 85 ft lbs. Single piston caliper, 37 ft lbs.
Yes, you need to remove the caliper first, then use the old brake pad and a C clamp to push down the piston of the caliper.
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
There is a specialty tool for this procedure. There is a metal plate that fits on the piston, then a clamp for the back of the caliper. Turning a screw will pull in the caliper. Opening the bleeder valve may be necessary.
Hydraulic force, transmitted by the brake fluid.
You will need special brake caliper tool such as a C-clamp to push back the piston on the caliper of a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer.

The rear brake caliper on the G6 has a screw-type piston setup. The piston must be screwed back down into seated position, not pressed. Special caliper screw-in tools are available at local auto part stores and tool supply centers. Better kits will come with several size fittings for several caliper sizes.
if it is the caliper at the rear u need the special tool to turn the piston clockwise to push in and counterclockwise to pull out
