looking for some help finish this nightmare up, the rear brakes are both off and taken apart so its ready to go. I need someone with experience to come help me compress/ inspect the rear calipers and get things finished up. Im too frustrated to finish it myself. I’ll pay who ever for there time.
take the cap off the master cylinder > put a c-clamp on the caliper piston > tighten the clamp until the piston is even with the face of the caliper > set new pads in the caliper, and slide over the rotor > replace any bolts and torque to spec.
I really dont know your issue but ive been frustrated with brakes plenty, i just take a step back do something else for a little bit and go back at it after i calm down a little. Just read above and take it step by step, if you still have an issue let me know and ill see if i can come give ya a hand.
the rear caliper pistons are the old school turn in’s, not the easy push ins like i wish. The pass side would turn and turn and not compress so I ordered a new one and picked it up, the drivers side I cant get to turn and when I tried the caliper started to pull apart (caliper bracket bolts started to pull out of rubber boots).At that point I said fuck it I cant deal with it anymore alone.
I did see that online, I got the pass side to turn with large screw driver and it just kept turning with no compression and the drivers side wont turn at all and the calipers coming apart now
I cant really move the car because of it having no rear brakes on it lol but if i can i will
Brakes are very simple especially disc brakes ive done them a thousand times but these rear calipers that are screw in pistons are being a pain in the ass and I dont have the patience for it
