You didn't say what your issue was - are you having trouble getting the calipers pushed back?? That is common as many folks don't realize that the calipers CANNOT just be pushed in - you have to screw the calipers back in. Either use a pair of needle nose pliers in the notches, or buy the little cube tool that fits on a 3/8 exension and use your ratchet handle.

Better search if you spell "brakes" correctly. Good luck.

Or instead of the cube tool or pliers, you could rent the brake tools from Autozone for about $60. When you're finished, return them and get your money back. That little cube tool works but sometimes it needs additional "tweaking" to make it happen.

If you caliper is seized, whatever you do, DO NOT get them from Autozone as they don't last very long although the lifetime warranty is intimidating..
