Its right about time to change my pads for my car and I go about to change them. Well the rear calipers are really hard to go back into. I tried pushing it back with my c-clamp but no luck. Could my calipers be seized? If so how would I repair these.

 

ummm you have to turn them you dont just press them back in like the fronts.
thats why they have a + groove in the pistion. you have to turn them clockwise

lol... no ****. thats probably why . thanks. I tried pressing the brake and it didnt seem to clamp the pads against the rotor? Thats why I thought it was seized

 

Make sure you clean any old grease off the caliper slide pins and lube them up with fresh brake grease to help prevent the caliper from seizing up.
