You cant push the piston on your rear brakes back in on my 02 Volvo s40?

Sounds like a siezed piston. This occurs typically from two causes. Either the piston is not aligned perfectly with the cylinder bore or there is corrosion on the cylinder walls behind the piston preventing it from going into the bore.
Brake fluid is hydoscopic, meaning it attracts & absorbs water. If the fluid is not changed at the recommended intervals, any moisture in the fluid will cause corrosion in the brake lines, cylinders, etc. The solution is to remove and rebuild or replace the caliper. A flush of the brake fluid would also be prudent.
The rear brakes on your '02 s40 are slightly different from the front. On the front, you can press the piston in. On the rear, the piston needs to be screwed in. Notice the slot going across the head of the piston? There is a special tool that looks like a small block and sits on top of piston and a small piece sets in the slot as the block sits on the piston. Turn clockwise to press in. You can use pliers of some sort but need to be careful because you can rip the rubber. You need to turn the piston in clockwise direction to push in the piston

How do you change back brakes on a 1985 Chevy van?
It depends if it is the front or rear brakes. Most likely if it is the front brakes you need to take off the front wheels then unbolt the two bolts on the back of the calper. Then you need to remove the caliper and take the brake pads out. After you do that you need to get a c clmp and push the caliper piston back into the calpier making sure that you take off the cap to your brake booster so it will release any fluid back into your resevor. After you have pushed the piston back in to where it is flush with the edge of the caliper, put the new pads back where the old one came out and put the caliper back on the rotor. After that bolt it back up and replace the wheels and reservor cap. Then the last step is to pump your break pedal. That should do it for you. If you have any questions you can e-mai me at any time and i will try to answer any questions you have. Im but i cant explain how to change your drums that are on the back in writing, i would have to talk to you on the phone or something. Ok later. I hope i helped you. Sincerely willie Its me again i didnt read the question correctly. Its was the back brakes that you needed help on. Well you would have to e-mail me that way we can get in touch. Sincerely willie
