How can you push the piston back in the caliper for the new brakes pads THE car is an 1995 mercury tracer?
To push the piston back in the caliper of a 1995 Mercury Tracer for new brake pads, you can use a C-clamp or a brake caliper tool. First, remove the wheel and then the caliper. Place the C-clamp over the caliper and position the clamp's screw against the piston; as you tighten the clamp, it will push the piston back into the caliper housing, making space for the new pads. Ensure the brake fluid reservoir is checked to prevent overflow during this process.
