2003 Civic EX front brakes HELP QUICK!
Ok i just put the new pads on, and i go to tighten up the 2 caliper bolts, but they just keep turning, it looks like the sliders keep on turning as i turn the bolt.
i held the flat part of the slider with a wrench and tightend it, and the bolts are tight now but the caliper still moves fairly easy

Once you apply the brakes a few times it will push the piston out of it's bore and the caliper will press the pads tight on the rotor.

And P.S. if for some reason you did one brake and then were going to the other, and didn't put the other back together yet, before you pump the brakes be sure that the other caliper has the pads installed and are on the rotor otherwise you might pop the piston out of it's bore.

briq4 wins the quick reply award, pressing the brake will help the problem. But make SURE everything is tight and installed correctly so u dont mess anything.
