First and very importantly, you must know what type of caliper you have. Some confess with a clamp. Other twist in. If you attempt to clamp a twist in style caliper it will be damaged.

How does brake pads retract?

Automotive hydraulic brakes are a closed system. Brakes have bleeders on them to allow for the removal of air from the system. The brake pedal is attached to the plunger arm on the master cylinder, which has the reservoirs for brake fluid. When the brake pedal is depressed, the plunger forces fluid out through the brake lines to each brake. When the brake pedal is released, the plunger retracts within the master cylinder creating suction that draws the brake pads away from the rotors creating clearance. I hope this helps you understand the process! Best Regards
