help - to all break guys

i`m in a process of changing my rotors and pads in all four corners - the fronts were easy - it's the rears that are giving me a problem...for some strange reason i can not push the cilinder in so the new pads and rotors will fit

any ideas???

help and thanks

you have to screw them in. Read the FAQ.... There is a tool that helps with that, but needle nose pliers did it for me.

Further to the above reply if they are difficult to screw in with needle nose pliers you then have to take them apart and clean them properly.

Hey white boy, that's pop locking, not breaking.
