It may turn back in rather than push back in like other caliper pistons. You can go to any parts store and by a cheap tool that has all different kinds of notches on it. find the right set of notches and turn it back into the caliper. If the piston is just round then you can buy another cheap tool and just leave the inside pad in the caliper and use the tool to push it all the way back in. be sure to take it slow turning or pushing the piston back in or you will have brake fluid all over the engine from forcing the fluid back into the line. cdhaze@msn.com
You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
You will need the tool to retract the calipers. The piston in the rear calipers have to be turned clockwise as you compress them back in.
To compress a caliper piston, you can use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, ensure the brake fluid reservoir cap is loosened to avoid pressure buildup. Then, position the tool or clamp against the piston and the back of the caliper, and slowly apply pressure until the piston is fully retracted. Be cautious not to damage the piston or the caliper during the process.
Brake piston? Front use a "C" clamp to compress Rear - Piston is threaded turn clockwise to compress (water pump pliers?)
To compress the caliper piston on a 2007 VW Rabbit, you’ll need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the caliper from the bracket, ensuring you support it to avoid straining the brake line. Then, place the tool or C-clamp over the piston and the back of the caliper, and gently compress the piston back into the caliper housing. Make sure to check the brake fluid reservoir, as compressing the piston can cause fluid to overflow.
The calipers should turn back in with a big scredriver or such! you have to rotate the piston to retract them rotae the pistons clockwise with a large pair of pliers
AnswerThere is not enough information in your question. A cylinder piston you do not compress, you compress the rings in the piston. There are pistons in the brake system. There is no way of knowing the problem without being more specific.I'm assuming you mean the caliper piston. If it can't be compressed, replace the caliper.
To compress the rear brake caliper piston on a 2003 Acura MDX, you need to first ensure the brake fluid reservoir is capped to prevent overflow. Use a caliper tool or a C-clamp to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. Make sure to apply even pressure and check that the brake pads are properly aligned as you compress the piston. Once fully compressed, you can reassemble the caliper and install it back onto the vehicle.
To compress the rear brake caliper piston on a 1995 Buick Riviera, you'll need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the caliper from its mounting bracket and support it without stressing the brake line. Then, place the tool or C-clamp over the caliper piston and gently compress the piston back into the caliper housing. Ensure you also open the brake fluid reservoir to prevent pressure buildup, and check brake fluid levels afterwards.
turn it in clockwise with a pair of needlenose
You will need a caliper rewinding tool
C or G clamps.
