To push the piston back in the rear caliper of a 2005 Ford Freestyle, first, ensure the brake fluid reservoir cap is removed to prevent pressure buildup. Use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp to slowly compress the piston back into the caliper housing, being cautious not to damage the piston or seals. If the caliper has an integrated parking brake mechanism, you may need to rotate the piston while pushing it in. Finally, check the brake fluid level and replace the reservoir cap.

How do you push the piston back in on the rear caliber on a 2006 Ford Freestyle?

AnswerWhile maintaining pression on the piston, turn it slowly clock-wise or conter clock-wise and the piston will entering slowlyRegardsTo make turning it easier, you can use a special tool that Autozone will loan you for free. You have to turn it the opposite way of a normal caliper piston - counter clockwise. Rear calipers on the Freestyle are notorious for freezing up though. You may have to replace it.

You are not able to get the piston compressed back in what is a easy way to do so?

Some brakes require the brake caliber piston to be screwed back in rather then compressed with a C-clamp. They sell a cheap tool to help facilitate the job.

How do you install brake pads on a 1990 Chevy Lumina?

Brake pads are fairly simple to replace.In my experiece's,I've always used a 4 inch C-clamp to keep the brake piston from pushing out due to the brake system's pressure.It's only on 1 side of a caliber and is what the caliber uses to squeeze against the rotor and stop the car. When you take the caliber off it's bracket and remove it from around the rotor to replace the pads,you'll never get it back on without pushing the brake cylinder back.This is due to the extra "meat" on the pad. Un-bolt the caliber and take the old pads off and you'll see the side where the piston is.It's about the size of a silver dollar.It's that side you'll need to screw the C-clamp on after the new pads have been put on.Screw the clamp against the brake pad where the piston is behind until you're able to slide the caliber back onto the rotor.Take the clamp off as soon as it slides on and bolt the caliber back on.Very simple. also on the rear calipers you will need to spin the piston to get it to decompress. i did this with a big pair of vice grips and a C clamp. tighten up C clamp and spin piston clockwise with vice grips, repeat until the piston is in far enough to put brake pads back on and fit on rotor. NOTE: When using the C-clamp on a caliper to push the piston back in, do not have the NEW pad on the piston. Leave the old one on (or put it back on) and use the OLD one to push the piston back. Don't chip up the surface on new one!

How do you push the piston back on rear caliper on 2005 mercury montego?

To push the piston back on the rear caliper of a 2005 Mercury Montego, you'll need to use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, ensure you have removed the caliper from the bracket and unhooked the brake line if necessary. Then, place the tool or C-clamp over the caliper 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 and remove some fluid if necessary to prevent overflow during this process.


Top piston rod will not push or pull so you can get the caliber back on the rotor The left front did fine but the right front will not go back on Thanks?

Replace the caliper .... it has seized. Its the cheapest way out. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Completely agree. Y-THINK-Y


How much kick back does a pistol have?

Depends on the caliber being shot. Small caliber, little kick back. Larger caliber bigger kick back...


Is there an alternative way to release the caliper pistons if they do not release normally and the cap on the reservoir is off on a Chevy Cavelier?

Turn the bleeder screw on the caliber 1/4 turn and then apply pressure to the caliber piston. It should go back easily try using a c clamp to apply presure.
