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.

How do you change rear brakes on 2007 Acura TSX?
I have a 2004 TSX and learned the hard way how to change the rear brakes and had to buy a rebuilt caliper for my mistake. Most brake calipers compress with a simple C-clamp to make room for the larger/newer brake pads. The rear brakes on a TSX are different and you'll notice they have a couple of grooves on the caliper piston. They make a tool that is sold at AutoZone that allows you to compress the caliper piston by rotating it clockwise back into the piston. (It looks like a metal cube with metal prongs sticking out) I also recommend using brake grease on the exposed caliper piston boot prior to compressing it as this will allow the piston to rotate without damaging the boot. Don't forget to bleed the brakes afterward since rotating the piston will likely allow some air into the brake caliper.

Is it hard to change rear brakes on a 2007 pontiac g6?
If I recall, a g6 has disc brakes front and rear, and are largely identical to the disc brake systems on most other cars, except for one thing; the rear g6 calipers cannot be compressed manually to fit in the new pads. A special tool is required to compress them. If you don't have that tool, you can't compress the caliper piston. If you can't compress that caliper piston, you can't fit in the new pads. Ask at an auto-parts store for a "Disk Brake Caliper Tool" set. Should be less than 30.00usd depending on the brand they carry. Note: The g6 *front* brake caliper pistons compress manually, no special tools needed.
