I know you rotate clockwise but what can you use to rotate it? Everything I use slips out.

 

AutoZone sells this little block tool that has little prongs sticking out and you put 3/8 ratchet in the other end. Its in the OEM section on isle 2.

 

yeah look for a "rear caliper wind-in tool" or something like that...using it is self explanatory

if you havent already, try to find a straight, flat piece of metal and put it inthere sideways to get more leverage

 

I just use the shaft of a large screwdriver. put some ***** into it man.

 

if you do get the tool and the piston is still hard to push in. They probably need a rebuild.

 

I did my brakes over my XMas break, and we used a Pry-Bar.

 

where is this piston, so when i get roters I'll know to keep an eye on it if i need to remove it.

 

i ended up going to autozone and they had the cube looking adapter just for situations like this.

 

but what is the piston lol

it's on the brake caliper, you CAN'T miss it...

 

If its what I think it is then I'm sry for wastin everyones time, because I had to use a c clamp to get it to go down to get the pads back in.

Thanks

DO NOT use the c clamp on the rears unless you want to make them sieze up. Fronts you use the c clamp, Rears you have to rotate them clockwise.

 

I used the c on the front when I had to put a new stud in.

What if you just drained the fluid out of the caliper, would that work, too, instead of renting tools?
