91 CRX Si rear disc
I just figured that I would take a tally of every one else who had trouble when replacing the rear pads on their EF's. Holy christ took me 5 min to compress the piston but 2.5hours to mount the freakin pads. I feel like crying! I swear u must need todler sized hands to work w/ those calipers!

COMPRESS???
youre were not supposed to COMPRESS the rear caliper.
you are supposed to TURN the rear caliper.
please tell me you did not try to push them in and simply are whining about sometihng else....

well, when u turn the piston, u are thereby compressing it!

no problems here, I usually use a screwdriver sideways in the + in center of the piston. Then the pads just go right in, im not sure what you are talking about

well not sure what you are having issues wit hthe rear caliper pads then. they fit pretty much like the front ones.

Exactly!
I have done several Honda Front Brakes (incl EM2 and EK) in maybe 1.5hours for the total job but these rear discs are the most difficult yet. Here's a question: Will the piston stop turning when it's fully compressed?
I ask this b/c it seems as though the piston will keep turning but won't go in any further. I even measured w/ verneer calipers to see if it was compressing any further and it wasnt.
