How do you get the rear caliber piston back in......????
I was changing my break pads, which I've done on the front but never in the back. For some reason pushing the piston in with a c-clamp on the front was no problem, but the rear doesn't seem to want to go in... Does anyone have any advice? Is there a special tool?

Re: i think it unscrews some how
you can use a special tool from the auto parts place or use a pair of needle nose pliers and turn the piston clock wise as you push in.
do a search because some offer different ways of doing this.

i did mine today. i used needle-nosed pliers and it worked, one was pretty simple, the other took a lot, read my thread for more details. but i would recommend the tool that has a socket wrench connection and the other end that actually fits in the notches. i wish i had one when i did it.
