Hey guys so i was changing my rear breaks let the e break down took cap of break fluid slot. so i complete the drivers back break with no problem then i go to work on the passenger i take pads off tried to push piston back no go almost broke my ******* wrist twisting my giant c clamp since it made me strip to large sz ones. any who what is the problem is that **** broke??? help me i hate paying for lay bore for easy stuff like this please tell me i made a bobo... i have a 87 turbo thanks please help me i frustrated. stressing..

 

first of all the rear calipers turn in clock wise. A C - clamp will not do it.
DO NOT PUSH THE CALIPER IN!!!

Most part stores sell a little square cube thing to turn in your caliper. Great tool to have and under 20.00.

 

turn them slowly.

 

hahahaha that's funny anyways sucks about your arm but yeah your supposed to use an adapter kit and twist the rears in, by you forcing pressure on them you may of inflicted damage.

-Cheers

 

Holy ******* grammar Batman! I would love to answer that question but my headache is now so bad, I have to look away.

Good luck with your breaks and paying for lay bore.

 

I literally just did this last night with a pair of needle nose plyers. It really isn't hard if you're not a pu***. Just squeeze real tight and turn slowly.

 

man why can i not believe you i have the square tool ima go back and get busy on it. but why did the driver piston go in so easy with the c clamp

 

-broken!- lol idk...

 

Seriously they turn in clockwise. You had to have broke the other one with force. YOU WILL NEED A NEW BRAKE CALIPER!

 

naw the first one went in smooth like wet 9u$$y but the other one is pushed all the way out but im going to work on it right now hope this **** works

 

*News Headline tomorrow*
Small mazda T-boned three parked cars. It is reported that the driver could not stop due to faulty brakes and not listening to others...

 

Yeah......... You Probably broke your drivers side caliper. You might be able to rent a rear brake tool from your auto parts store, or buy one at harbor freight for 25 bucks.
The rear caliper have sort of a screw inside. As the pads get lower it turns out. You have to turn it clockwise back in with the mentioned tool. IMO the "cube" tool sucks hard.

 

Yeah I've had much better luck with a needle nose than the cube.

 

All of a sudden I don't feel so stupid anymore...

 

damm that sucks guys we were too late =/

 

Fixed.

 

Anyone else think of Mike Tyson when they read this thread title?
