Replacing rear pads and having trouble compressing the piston. Is there a trick to this? - SparTTan 2015-07-26 09:18:20 (150 views)
- I would try what madmax said. I was able to do it with one of those cheap little adapter cubes - kenTTang 2015-07-27 14:58:22 (87 views)
  - I put a box end wrench on the T-handle of the tool, ended up bending the T-handle and sheared off - SparTTan 2015-07-27 22:41:05 (88 views)
- Likely rusted inside... - msauve 2015-07-26 16:24:46 (128 views)
- Release the parking brake! :-) - J. Patterson 2015-07-26 10:40:23 (107 views)
  - It's completely disconnected. I broke my tool, got another from Autozone - SparTTan 2015-07-26 12:42:58 (113 views)
    - In a pinch...c clamp and a pair of needle nose pliers on the indents of the piston will work> - rabbitgtdguy 2015-07-26 13:54:24 (106 views)
      - It seriously won't budge. I've tried everything. - SparTTan 2015-07-26 14:02:33 (113 views)
        
        If it is being that big of a pain, would do the same. Ebrake shaft could be bent> - rabbitgtdguy 2015-07-26 14:25:39 (115 views)
