im changing brakes and i can't get the piston to collapse enough to make way for the new pads. i am gonna try tomorrow and use a c-clamp. how did u guyz get the piston to collapse?

open the bleeder and allow the fluid to come out as you push in the piston....should be able to do it with your fingers.....top off the fluid and bleed the brake when you're done.. good luck,

i have tried that also and it did not work. this is the first time i changed the brakes and its an 04. do you think all the dirt could have gotten in there and wont allow the piston to go down?

Has the adjuster bolt for the parking brake been removed? If not back it off.

looks like im going to have to run with out the parking brake, i can't get the adjuster bolt to move. so do i just leave the adjuster bolt out and put the case back on? or just leave the case off also?
