Rear caliper help
 
So I'm changing the brake pads today, the fronts took about 30 mins and were obviously easy. The backs are just killing me though. i got the pads out and everything and placed the new pads in but how in the heck do I get the piston in the caliper back in. I have the tool needed for the job, but it doesnt seem to be helping.:mad:

you have to twist them in. I used a set of needle nose pliers and pushed in and turned them at the same time in my hands. They sell a tool but i didnt use it.

Its super easy. You will see there are some indentations on the piston, you just put the end of the pliers in those spots and push in and turn.
