To push the rear caliper piston back, you'll need a caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the wheel and brake pads to access the caliper. Then, insert the tool or place the C-clamp over the caliper with one side against the piston and the other against the caliper body, and gently tighten it to push the piston back into the caliper. Make sure to check the brake fluid reservoir, as pushing the piston back may cause fluid to rise and overflow.
if it is the caliper at the rear u need the special tool to turn the piston clockwise to push in and counterclockwise to pull out
You will need to push the caliper piston back as well as rotated when you are replacing your rear brake pads. The caliper will need to be turned clockwise.
They need to be wound back in, using a special tool, a G-clamp also work to push it back, with the rotating part on the caliper piston.
the caliper needs a special tool. the piston does not push straight in. the spring needs to be released at the rear of the caliper. then using the special tool the piston twists back in to place
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.

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.
Use a C clamp to push the piston out of the way to remove and also to place back on rotor.
Up to about 1999, no. Only needed a large C clamp to push the piston back in the cylinger. After 2000 some rear brakes have the the screw type piston which requires you to un-screw the caliper back to the un-used pad position.
be sure to purcahse the tool to "screw" the caliper piston in. If you try to push the piston in on rear disc brakes you will damange the caliper.
front pushes in with a bar, rear screws in...
You can find an inexpensive tool at your local auto parts. This works best.
