caliper piston not moving during brake install
 

hello,

i took off both back wheels in my 02 pro to change the pads, and for some reason the piston on the calipers are not moving in.. i applied alot of force with the c-clamp, and i don't think both back calipers would seize. the resovoir cover was open as well.

just wanted to know if anyone cold give me some tips, or if anyone has run into this problem before. i don't want to remove the brake line off of the calipers if i really don't have to.

thanks in advance,

If you look on the rear of the cliper you will find a allen key or something similar ,turn is so the pads move out . The cylinders on the calipers cant be pusheed in ,they must be turned in .

Yup. There's an alan key behind the caliper on the rears. :)

yet another thread answered without the "search" feature!!

hahaha

btw, theres an allen screw on the back of the caliper that might be useful to use...


:p...
