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.

 

yes... go to napa and get the lil tool... tell the feller that ya need the tool to compress the brake piston for a 94 GT... they will have it... if not get a universal (they are ****ty but will work)

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.
