slick Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 What exactly is the problem? The back piston will not depress? Quote
jeremy Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 i truely don't mean to sound like a smart ass, this time, but you know what you are doing? Quote
stlunatics2oo3 Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 well the piston is froze so no i guess i don't kno what i am doin prolly why the title says brake help not bein a smart ass thanks Jeremy Quote
jeremy Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 ....frozen piston doesn't equal not knowing what you are doing....happens all time to brake parts... I just wasn't sure if you had done a break job before, I couldn't tell from your first post.... Quote
AWeb80 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Um, when i did the brakes on my GP, i had to use a screw driver to turn on of the things back in......can't remember what its called or if it was on the front or back :oops: Quote
Slade901 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 For the front brakes, get a big C-Clamp and use the old brake pad between the piston and the C-Clamp. For the rear brakes, you can buy a rear brake tool. It looks like a cube and you use that to turn the rear caliper piston. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2443624756 Quote
Paul GTP Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Because of the parking brake rear piston in on the bolt that scerws inside the piston, you have to turn the piston to get it back in Quote
