*Rear Brakes*
OK Im putting back together the rear brakes but need some help. We are currently trying to load the calipers with the pads. Suck a pain unless Im doing it wrong but its like you have to twist it and turn it to get it to fit. But I need to get the piston pushed in the caliper to make some more room. Can it be pushed in or is it a screw style???
Also brake bleeding, what are the proper procedures???

search...this is covered every week (if not every day)
it's screwed in. keep an eye on the reservoir as it will probably overflow (brake fluid will remove paint if left on)

Have been trying that about the screw in and couldnt find it. But thank you.
AS for the bleeding, seems like there are so many things people are saying but its starting to confuse me.
Caliper is actually off the car.

you should get this type of tool. Its a universal brake caliper compressor. You just use an extension and ratchet. Worked for me. Turn clockwise to push in the claiper.

done this several times and the best thing is to use that universal tool for the rear (screw in) and the c-clamp + a block of wood b/t the piston and the screw on the clamp to better distribute the force. enjoy!

C-clamp is only for use on the front caliper pistons. The rears must be turned using a big screwdriver or the tool pictured above.

But if the calipers are old and have a little bit of resistance the universal tool works best.
