There is NO adjustment screw ANY where on the caliper. When putting new pads in, the caliper piston must be pushed in so it fits over the new pads.

To tighten a hand brake, first, locate the adjustment mechanism, which is usually found between the front seats or under the dashboard. If it’s a cable-operated brake, you may need to loosen the locking nut and turn the adjustment screw or bolt to increase tension. For disc brakes, inspect the caliper for any adjustment screws. After making adjustments, test the hand brake to ensure it holds the vehicle securely when engaged.

How do you compress the rear caliper piston on a '94 ford probe gt?

The proper method is how it is described originally below with the removal of the cap on the back of the caliper and turning in the Allen screw which retracts the E-brake adjuster inside the caliper. There are some cars where you rotate the piston itself into the caliper, if you have that type of caliper you need a cheap tool from the parts store which has pins that locate in the holes in the piston and you put a socket on the other end to rotate it. If you use pliers on the caliper piston you will score it and screw up the seal.14yr ASE Certified Technician.AnswerThere is a small bolt in the center of the backside of the caliper. Remove that bolt and you will see a small Allen head screw inside it. Loosen that screw as you apply moderate pressure to the front of the piston.
