Default ~~~ Trouble Replacing Back Brakes ~~~

-
Changed out Front Roters & Brakes... however, having troulbe getting back brake pads on... can't get brake to recoil/go in, to allow enough space for the new pads.

Any Suggestions??

Are you sure you screwed the brake piston all the way in?

The pistons on the rear screw in to the calipers you have to get a wide screwdriver in the slots and turn them in, don't just try and push them back like the fronts they are designed different.

Thanks for the info... seems I didn't screw them in far enough... still had some turns in it.

Thanks again.
