Default HeLP! 94 Civic Si, Rear Passenger Caliper doesn't go on

I got a 94 Si and the rear passenger caliper wont go on. The old Rotor and pads are FUBAR'd and i was wondering if anyone had the same problem, Could it be that the caliper is bent? TIA

u have to spin the piston in first before it can go on. look at the calipers and use a needle nose or something to spin it in like a screw.

if these are spin piston caliper's and you've already tried to compress them by using a C-clamp you may have already broke it and must go buy a new caliper. happened to me before with shitty american cars.

I had a bitch of time to put one in one time. Then i found out i was spinning it the wrong way. Honda rear disc have to be spun counter clockwise.
