I dont know whats wrong, im putting on new pads, ive opened the brake fluid cap reservoir, bled the brakes a bit, but the piston will not move back far enough to go over the brake pads!? I duno what else it can be, maybe wrong brake pads?! This is pissing me off. I can still turn the piston, but it will not retract any further. Help guys. ---

Just turn the piston clockwise and it will go back in. ---

I assume you’re talking about the rear brakes. What pads are you using? How much more do they need to go back in? a lot? do the pads fit in the caliper otherwise? do you have a make/part number for the pads? ---

I got it to work, let me tell you, next time ill just pay someone to do these. The front were a BREEZE, took like 30 minutes. Rear was absolutely ridiculous. They needed to be turned about 100 revolutions, each piston, try doing that with a set of needle nose pliers! Blisters everywhere on my hands. Stupid nissan. ---

HAHA I did the same thing but with vice grips my god let me tell you the rears on a 95 are such a pain. There is a tool that connects onto the piston and connects to a impact gun, makes the job really easy lol. ---
