Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?

I got the pads off but I am having a hard time getting them back on, the thing I need to compress to get it back on is not compressing. What do I do?Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?I assume the caliper piston is the problem.



Open the bleeder valve just enough to allow fluid to escape, use a C-clamp to push the piston back into the caliper housing. Once the piston is positioned, close bleeder valve, install pads and reinstall caliper. Top off master cylinder with clean brake fluid.



Be careful where you point caliper while pushing piston into caliper, brake fluid will be exiting bleeder valve.Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?
do u have the cap/top off the fluid resoviour? fluid needs to go to compress padsNeed help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?you need to get a 6" C clamp place old pad across the cylinder and use C clamp to compress it in Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?
exactly what the poster above me said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?You can open the bleeder valve on the caliper when you compress the piston. Be sure to refill the reservoir. If they are rear brakes, you need to screw in the piston.Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?
well you use a c clamp or you need a special tool that screws in the roter plunger...try this

It sounds so familiar, THE REAR DISC HAS A TOOL TO 'SCREW' THE PISTON BACK INTO THE CALIPER. Due to the rear brake using a park-brake system on it, the caliper needs to maintain close contact between the rotor and disc. This was done by using a 'RATCHETING ACTION' which keep the piston from moving the pads away from the disc too far at brake release.

THE PISTON SCREWS COUNTER CLOCK WISE TO RECESS INTO THE CALIPER. good-luck!!!



"BRILLIANT"!!!!
