alright, i might be a bit retarded, but i pulled my rear caliper to replace pads a couple weeks ago, and could not get the piston to compress.

am i missing something with the parking brake? Helms didn't seem too helpful.

any info appreciated.

I don't have rear disc's yet but I do recall that you actually have to turn the piston counter clockwise, since they don't compress like the front. hth

 

hrm... i thought turning the piston was just to align the tab on the back of the pad. just keep turning it?

Yup, just keep turning it till it goes in far enough.

 

werd, i feel retarded now.

thanks.
