The caliper pistons should be able to be pushed in by hand, but if that is too difficult use a screw driver to gain leverage off of the caliper body itself - being careful to not damage any seals.
you have to turn the piston like a bolt
vacuum assisted disc brakes
with a c clamp. put a block of wood or your old pad over the piston and tighten with clamp.
For Disc Brakes...simply use a 7mm Allen wrench to remove the 2 bolts from the inside of the caliper and use a large C-clamp to put pressure on the hydrolic piston. The two pads slide right off for replacement. Reverse directions to install new ones.
Cailbers have NO adjustment. They have a piston that moves in and out as the brake is pushed down.
sorry i cant answer that ? but just curious I have a 2003 Pontiac grand am se and the front brakes have to be replaced about every 7 months, are you haviing any problem like that with your car?
the only tools need are a 17 inch socket a rachet a "C" clamp to push the piston back in.
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 I bleed brakes on a 2005 suzuki xl7 2wd
there has to be a special tool .. the caliber needs to be turned while its being compressed. i used a pair of channel locks to turn the caliber while using a c clamp to compressing it good luck.. keep an eye on the fluid level..
raise auto and place jack stands under auto, remove tire , unloosen the caliber bolts, remove caliber, take out front brake pad and use a C clamp to push the pistons back into the caliber, remove rear brake pad and install new pads and place caliber back and bolt on and then pump brakes until they are hard again
You need a rear disc brake caliper tool set for this job. A pair of needle nose pliers can work also, but damage to the caliper is likely, if you're trying to get it done in a hurry.These rear calipers cannot be compressed with a clamp like the front calipers can be.The piston actually screws into the caliper. Again, look for a disc brake caliper tool set. Harbor Freight Tools sells a $20 kit that will do the job.
