Rear caliper piston
Hey guys spent all day yesterday doing my brakes got the fronts done but when I got to the back to snap the new pads in I couldn't figure out how to get the Caliper piston to go back in, I tried using a C clamp like i did on the fronts, Even took off the cap to the brake fluid. Just wondering if anyones got an idea how I need to get it done.

Ummmm the rears spin to go in...
Using a C-clamp isnt good for them. Theres a tool you can get it looks like a cube that will help spin the piston so it will retract but I just use needle nose plyers.

The tool is a clamp that rotates. It comes with several discs which fits many makes of cars. The Piston is like a screw so you cant just push it in. Sears and any auto part store should have it. If you look at piston it should have two notches which means it needs the tool.
