[Paul1985]

Quick question. im a hurry to get my car on the road!

Anyone know why the %^& i cant push the piston back?? ive even tryed to push it back with a clamp and its tight, i dont wanna force it and break something.

Handbrake is off, but is there some method i need in order to push it back somehow with the handbrake???

place the old brake pad on the piston, where it normally sits, and they use the g clamp on the pad, that way u dont damage nething. it will be tight though. good luck

because you don't push it back
you screw it back in.

get a big head flat head screwdrive and screw in, clockwise it should be.

i hope you didn't damage the piston when you tried using a clamp and what not.

Also make sure the line the groove in the piston is lined up with the nipple on the backing plate of the pad once you have wound it in.
