Just a silly little Question!

Whats the best way to let the back pressure out of the brake Piston? I’ve been opening the Bleeder screw and using a clamp to force it back in???

Any better ways, my rear brake pots won’t move???

rear brake pistons screw in. Do not force them with a clamp! You can buy a special tool for this or just put the caliper in a vice or something and turn the piston back in with a wide set of pliers (clockwise).

fyi. Front calipers can be reset with a clamp but not the rears…You’ll damage them by forcing the piston.
