Rear Brake Calipers
I am in the middle of changing my rear brakes and rotors. The problem is I can't get the driver side caliper to compress. Am I missing something?

They won't compress just by using a normal compressor. The piston faces have slots in them because you have to screw them in to compress them. There are tools you can buy at any auto parts store to fit the slots, but when I changed mine, I just used a large pair of needle nose pliers.
