brake question

[O-zone]

i got a 95 240. i was changing out my rear rotors today but i couldn't finish because the piston on my caliper wouldn't go in. i drained my brake fluid but it still wouldn't go down. i tried everything i know. anyone got any suggestions to fix this little prob of mine?

completely wrong info!!!

the rear calipers have an intregated e-brake. u need to spin the caliper piston as u push it inwards.

Bro. the rear calipers have the E-brake in them.
You will need to Screw in the piston and push lightly at the same time

There are many parts stores that sell a special too just for rear rotors.
sometimes you can get away with using a flat head screw driver DEPENDING on the piston.

I just took out the bleeder screw and BANG, BANG, BANGed it. and it went in.

yeah but then you have to bleed your brakes if you want to be SURE there is no air in the lines. Kinda wasteful.

Easiest way w/ toolbox tools - pliers fools. Just clamp 2 of the indents on the caliper piston and turn clockwise. You'll have to push in for the pliers to not slip out. Very easy.
