you need a special caliper tool that turns the piston as it pushes it in, or if you are on a tight budget grab a wrench and a regular caliper compressor and turn the caliper clockwise as you tighten the tool (or ask someone for help, easier with 2 people) hope this helps.

How do change rear brakes on a 2004 vw jetta?

To change the rear brakes on a 2004 VW Jetta, start by safely lifting the rear of the car and removing the wheels. Next, remove the brake caliper by unbolting it and sliding it off the rotor, then replace the brake pads by sliding them out of their slots. Use a brake caliper tool to compress the caliper piston back into its housing before reattaching the caliper. Finally, reassemble everything, ensuring all bolts are tightened, and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper brake engagement before driving.

How to change the breaks in a vw jetta?

To change the brakes on a VW Jetta, first, lift the car and remove the wheel. Next, remove the caliper by unscrewing the caliper bolts, then slide the caliper off and support it with a bungee or rope to avoid straining the brake line. Replace the old brake pads with new ones, ensuring they are properly seated, and compress the caliper piston if necessary. Finally, reattach the caliper, replace the wheel, and repeat the process on the other side before lowering the car and testing the brakes.
