How do you replace rear brakes on a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta?
If I'm correct you're having trouble retracting the piston on the caliper. If I'm not then don't read anymore. You need to turn the piston clockwise while applying pressure against the piston. The easiest way is in a large vise with a socket against the piston while using channel locks to turn the piston. This is if you don't rent the special tool for this specific task. Don't feel bad I got the answer the same way you did. good luck
What causes oil to be blown out of the exhaust?
bad piston rings or bad valve seals. valve seals are easy but time consuming to replace, while piston rings mean a total engine rebuild. sometimes, you can remove the sump, and get the pistons out from underneath.
What is a caliper reset tool?
A Caliper Reset Tool is a tool used to 'reset' the brake caliper piston on calipers with an integral handbrake system. The tool spins the piston while applying pressure to compress it enough to replace the old pads with newer thicker ones.
When replacing rear disk brakes on a 1997 Nissan Maxima how do you compress the piston?
the piston needs to be turned counter clock wise while compressing the piston
How do you push back the caliper on the rear brakes on a golf 2001?
There is a special tool that one needs to accomplish this task. It turns the piston while pressing the same piston into the caliper body. Try www.germanautoparts.com to purchase same. Do not try to do it without this tool, you will damage the caliper and it will cost you $$$$$ to replace.
You tried to use a C clamp to press the cylinder piston in and it will not depress are you doing something wrong?
You've gotta use a compression sleeve to keep the piston rings in while depressing the piston.
What is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?
A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.

How piston protrusion is measured?
Piston protrusion is typically measured by placing a dial indicator on the top of the piston while it is positioned at Top Dead Center (TDC). The measurement is taken from the piston crown to the deck surface of the engine block. This measurement is important for ensuring proper clearance and compression ratio in an engine.
Why do large piston move up while small piston do not move up when exerted the same pressure?
Large pistons move up while small pistons do not move up when exerted the same pressure because of the difference in surface area. The larger piston has a greater surface area, which means the force applied is spread out over a larger area, resulting in a net force sufficient to move the piston upwards. In contrast, the force exerted on the smaller piston is concentrated over a smaller area, resulting in a lower net force that is not enough to move the piston upwards.
Describe the energy transformation as the engines piston goes up and down?
As the engine's piston moves up, it compresses the fuel-air mixture, converting mechanical energy into potential energy in the form of increased pressure. When the piston moves down, the compressed mixture is ignited, releasing chemical energy and converting it back into mechanical energy to drive the piston.
How do you remove piston from 80 cc moto 4 Yamaha?
to remove the piston, you need to remove the carb and intake. You will then remove the 4 acorn nuts from the top of the cylinder head and the 2 bolts on the left side of the head. You can then remove the cylinder head and slide the cylinder up off of the 4 studs while insuring the piston is sliding out the bottom of the cylinder. Also take care in making sure the piston and connecting rod do drop against the studs as it exits the cylinder. To replace the piston, simply remove the cir-clip from either end of the recessed area in either side of the piston and you should be able to push the wrist pin from the connescting rod and piston. It is recommended that you replacee the cir-clip with a new one upon reassembly. And of course, you should reassemble with new head and cylinder-to-block gaskets.
