OK, so i'm just finishing up my integra 4 disc set up, and it's getting late, so i wanted to slap the suspention togeather, and move the car (taking up parking) so i can finish tommorow. The problem is with the rear calipers. I pressed the piston back into the caliper, installed new pads, and now i can't get the damn things on the rotor!.. everyone keeps telling me to compress the piston, BUT I DID...

Now..the question: The ONLY thing missing right now is the E-brake cables. Could that be the reason why my caliper isen't opening wide enough? I have 4 rear calipers, (2 spares) all 4 calipers are the same..they won't fit!... is the E-brake cable the one causing all this trouble? or did i get the wrong pads?....Help?

When you compress the piston did turned the Piston (on my 91 teg the piston has + on the end) so that it moved back into the camber. Yes you have to turn the +. Do not use a c-clap.

 

Get a big screwdriver and bottom out the caliper piston.

 

DOH!!... I totally forgot about that (turn, not compress)...don't i feel like a big dummy...ahem, late night?...*runs away*

Oh snap, you got 4 rear calipers?
