94 gt rear brake help
ive been doing a break job on my 94 gt for about a hour now, ive got the disks and new pads installed BUT i cant push the cly back in to the calaper. ive unhooked the bleeder, then unhooked the line, now ive unhooked the e break spring.
am i going to have to remove the e break cable or is there something else that im missing? also, how in the HELL am i going to get that coil spring back on:wallbash: |
YOU DON"T PUSH IT!!!! You have to buy a tool that SCREWS it back in. Pushing it will damage it!!!!!!! See the slots on the piston? The tool fits in those, attach a 3/8 rat and turn it back in. Tool avail at any auto store. $10-. Now you must bleed your entire system. Start with the pass rear, then move to dr rear, pass frnt, dr frnt. The spring is a Bitch to get back sometimes, check out a book at the autostore(pepboys or whom ever) on bleeding.

No biggy... lol... I had the same problem |
:censored:
well, ive got one new calaper in the back of the camaro and another coming tomarrow. i think i might as well replace them both sence ive got new ones any way.:bash: |
lmao Damn dude, don't feel bad. That happened to a friend of mine too, he was at it for like 5 hours until I came over with my tool. It's basically a circle with 2 prongs to fit inside the notches of the caliper piston that turns it to push it back into the caliper. lol INVEST IN ONE dude.

yeah that was a sneaky trick FORD did. but that little tools sorta sucks. they have better ones though, it's still universal but way better and doesn't slip out all the time.
