So yesturday, I was changing the brakes on my car...I changed the front just fine, I pushed in the piston with a C-clamp, and it worked as it always does, then I went to do the back....wasnt to easy, I couldnt push the piston in the caliper, I tired it with the C-clamp, with a big pair of pliers, with the e-brake on/off, but didnt work...how do I get it to work? How do I move the piston on the rear calipers in?

anyone?

They may be the same as the 5th Gen., if so, you are going to need a different tool for the back ones. The C-Clamp won't work....I don't remember the name of it, but if you go to Auto Zone, they should tell you

 

[Prelude1897]

Its one of those special tools that you rarely use...

For the rears, I believe you have to rotate (turn) the piston, like a bolt or screw. As for direction, I'm not sure, but just try one direction and see if it goes in or out.

yeah, you gotta twist it, i wanna say clockwise. Yes, AutoZone does have the specialty item that you are looking for. Its called a "brake caliper twister-thingamajig". They'll know what your looking for

hes exactly right. you need to turn the back ones, and then youll be able to compress them. fuck man, just take an adjustable wrench to em
