I had my calipers off because i was taking my rotors to be turned. And while they were off i pushed the brake pedal and that caused one of my rear caliper piston to come out. what do i do now? how do i get it back in? is it very difficult or is it not that big of deal. please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

all oyu have to do is rotate it clockwise.i have a large(wide) flat srewdriver that i use

 

do i need to take the brake line off and do it without any pressure or can it be done while it's still connected?

 

no,you don't need to undo the line.

 

dont touch the brake line.. Take a Needle nose pilers and stick it in the + grove in the piston and turn it clockwise u might get fliud coming out of the master but thats ok... After u finish make sure u pump the brake pedal, and check the mater aswell

I did the same thing... if a bunch of fluid came out when I pressed the pedal, does that mean that the seal is shot? If so, is a rear caliper from a GSR (now on my civic) easily rebuilt? Any help would save me some sanity...(brake swap now approaching $500 mark!)...

 

Sorry to hijack the thread, but...does anyone have any info about rebuilding the rear caliper, or even if I need to?

 

So, no one can give me an answer because I don't drive an R?
